Query SB for items within a date range — query_sb

Queries ScienceBase for items with timestamps within a certain date/time range.

Usage

query_sb_date(
  start = as.POSIXct("1970-01-01"),
  end = Sys.time(),
  date_type = "lastUpdated",
  ...,
  limit = 20
)

Arguments

start: Start date as POSIXct object. Defaults to 1970-01-01
end: End date as POSIXct object. Defaults to today.
date_type: Which object timestamp to query against. Options are (case sensitive): 'Acquisition', 'Award', 'Collected', 'dateCreated', 'Received', 'Reported', 'Transmitted', 'Due', 'End', 'Info', 'lastUpdated', 'Publication', 'Release', 'Repository Created', 'Repository Updated', 'Start'.
...: Additional parameters are passed on to GET
limit: Maximum number of returned items. Will do paging to retrieve results when limit is over 1000. Use with caution, queries 10k results are slow.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# find items updated today
query_sb_date(Sys.time(), Sys.time())

# find items with publications from the 1970's
query_sb_date(as.POSIXct('1970-01-01'), as.POSIXct('1980-01-01'), 
  date_type='Publication', limit=1000)

}
