Downloads summary taxon information from the NCBI taxonomy databases for a set of taxonomy UIDs using eutils esummary.
ncbi_get_taxon_summary(id, key = NULL, ...)
id |
(character) NCBI taxonomy uids to retrieve information for. See Details. |
key |
(character) NCBI Entrez API key. optional. See Details. |

Curl options passed on to crul::verb-GET |
If your input vector or list of NCBI IDs is longer than about
2500 characters (use nchar(paste(ids, collapse = "+"))), split
the list up into chunks since at about that number of characters you
will run into the HTTP 414 error "Request-URI Too Long".
A data.frame with the following columns:
uid The uid queried for
name The name of the taxon; a binomial name if the taxon is of rank species
rank The taxonomic rank (e.g. 'Genus')
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')
See taxize-authentication for help on authentication. We strongly recommend getting an API key
