Taxonomic IDs to taxonomic names

id2name(id, db = NULL, x = NULL, ...)

# S3 method for default
id2name(id, db = NULL, x = NULL, ...)

# S3 method for tolid
id2name(id, ...)

# S3 method for tsn
id2name(id, ...)

# S3 method for uid
id2name(id, ...)

# S3 method for wormsid
id2name(id, ...)

# S3 method for gbifid
id2name(id, ...)

# S3 method for boldid
id2name(id, ...)

Arguments

id: vector of taxonomic IDs (character or numeric)
db: (character) database to query. One or more of tol, itis, ncbi, worms, gbif, or bold. Note that each taxonomic data source has their own identifiers, so that if you provide the wrong db value for the identifier you could get a result, but it will likely be wrong (not what you were expecting). If using ncbi we recommend getting API keys; see taxize-authentication
x: Deprecated, see id
...: Further args passed on to tol_id2name or itis_getrecord, or other internal functions. See those functions for what parameters can be passed on.

Value

A named list of data.frames, named by the input taxonomic ids

HTTP version for NCBI requests

We hard code http_version = 2L to use HTTP/1.1 in HTTP requests to the Entrez API. See curl::curl_symbols('CURL_HTTP_VERSION')

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# ITIS
id2name(19322, db = "itis")

# TOL
id2name(515698, db = "tol")
# get NCBI ID and pass to classification()
x <- id2name(515698, db = "tol")
classification(as.uid(x[[1]]$tax_sources_ncbi))

# NCBI
id2name(315567, db = "ncbi")
id2name(3339, db = "ncbi")
id2name(9696, db = "ncbi")
id2name(c(9695, 9696), db = "ncbi")

# WORMS
id2name(105706, db = "worms")

# GBIF
id2name(2441176, db = "gbif")

# BOLD
id2name(88899, db = "bold")
