`taxize` allows users to search over many taxonomic data sources for species names (scientific and common) and download up and downstream taxonomic hierarchical information - among other things.

The taxize book => <https://taxize.dev>

The functions in the package that hit a specific API have a prefix and suffix separated by an underscore. They follow the format of `service_whatitdoes`.  For example, `gnr_resolve` uses the Global Names Resolver API to resolve species names.  General functions in the package that don't hit a specific API don't have two words separated by an underscore, e.g., `classification`.

You need API keys for Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), Tropicos, IUCN, and NatureServe.

## SOAP

Note that a few data sources require SOAP web services, which are difficult to support in R across all operating systems. These include: Pan-European Species directories Infrastructure and Mycobank. Data sources that use SOAP web services have been moved to `taxizesoap` at <https://github.com/ropensci/taxizesoap>.

**: There are none! We suggest using `TPL` and `TPLck` functions in the [taxonstand package](https://cran.r-project.org/package=Taxonstand). We provide two functions to get bulk data: `tpl_families` and `tpl_get`.

\***: There are none! The function scrapes the web directly.

### May be in taxize in the future...

## Installation

### Stable version from CRAN


```r
install.packages("taxize")
```

### Development version from GitHub

Windows users install Rtools first.


```r
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ropensci/taxize")
```


```r
library('taxize')
```



## Get unique taxonomic identifier from NCBI

Alot of `taxize` revolves around taxonomic identifiers. Because, as you know, names can be a mess (misspelled, synonyms, etc.), it's better to get an identifier that a particular data source knows about, then we can move forth acquiring more fun taxonomic data.


```r
uids <- get_uid(c("Chironomus riparius", "Chaetopteryx"))
#> ══  2 queries  ═══════════════
#> ✔  Found:  Chironomus+riparius
#> ✔  Found:  Chaetopteryx
#> ══  Results  ═════════════════
#> 
#> ● Total: 2 
#> ● Found: 2 
#> ● Not Found: 0
```

## Retrieve classifications

Classifications - think of a species, then all the taxonomic ranks up from that species, like genus, family, order, class, kingdom.


```r
out <- classification(uids)
lapply(out, head)
#> $`315576`
#>                 name         rank     id
#> 1 cellular organisms      no rank 131567
#> 2          Eukaryota superkingdom   2759
#> 3       Opisthokonta      no rank  33154
#> 4            Metazoa      kingdom  33208
#> 5          Eumetazoa      no rank   6072
#> 6          Bilateria      no rank  33213
#> 
#> $`492549`
#>                 name         rank     id
#> 1 cellular organisms      no rank 131567
#> 2          Eukaryota superkingdom   2759
#> 3       Opisthokonta      no rank  33154
#> 4            Metazoa      kingdom  33208
#> 5          Eumetazoa      no rank   6072
#> 6          Bilateria      no rank  33213
```

## Immediate children

Get immediate children of _Salmo_. In this case, _Salmo_ is a genus, so this gives species within the genus.


```r

You can limit to certain rows when getting ids in any `get_*()` functions


```r
get_ids(names="Poa annua", db = "gbif", rows=1)
#> ══  1 queries  ═══════════════
#> ✔  Found:  Poa annua
#> ══  Results  ═════════════════
#>

#> ● Found: 1

#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "gbifid"
#> attr(,"match")
#> [1] "found"
#> attr(,"multiple_matches")
#> [1] TRUE
#> attr(,"pattern_match")
#> [1] FALSE
#> attr(,"uri")
#> [1] "https://www.gbif.org/species/2704179"
#> 
#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "ids"
```

Furthermore, you can just back all ids if that's your jam with the `get_*_()` functions (all `get_*()` functions with additional `_` underscore at end of function name)


```r
get_ids_(c("Chironomus riparius", "Pinus contorta"), db = 'nbn', rows=1:3)

## Coerce codes to taxonomic id classes

`numeric` to `uid`


```r
as.uid(315567)
#> [1] "315567"
#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "uid"
#> attr(,"match")
#> [1] "found"
#> attr(,"multiple_matches")
#> [1] FALSE
#> attr(,"pattern_match")
#> [1] FALSE
#> attr(,"uri")
#> [1] "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/315567"
```

`list` to `uid`


```r
as.uid(list("315567", "3339", "9696"))
#> [1] "315567" "3339"   "9696"  
#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "uid"
#> attr(,"match")
#> [1] "found" "found" "found"
#> attr(,"multiple_matches")
#> [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE
#> attr(,"pattern_match")
#> [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE
#> attr(,"uri")
#> [1] "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/315567"
#> [2] "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/3339"  
#> [3] "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/9696"
```

## Coerce taxonomic id classes to a data.frame


```r
out <- as.uid(c(315567, 3339, 9696))
(res <- data.frame(out))
#>      ids class match multiple_matches pattern_match
#> 1 315567   uid found            FALSE         FALSE
#> 2   3339   uid found            FALSE         FALSE
#> 3   9696   uid found            FALSE         FALSE
#>                                            uri
#> 1 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy/315567
