(character) the type of external id. one of: tsn, bold, dyntaxa, eol, fishbase, iucn, lsid, ncbi, gisd. default: tsn |

An integer that is the ID. When using underscore method, a list, named by the input IDs
Of the two sister functions, the one without the underscore is the original function that wraps the relavant WoRMS API method - and only accepts one thing (i.e., name or AphiaID) per request.
The sister function with the underscore at the end is the plural version, accepting more than one input. Internally this function loops over the non-underscore method, and labels output (whether it's a list or data.frame rows) with the input names or IDs so that you can easily parse output by your inputs.
