Retrieve Benthic Species List from the Global Archive API

This function retrieves a list of benthic species from the Global Archive API. It makes an API call to the specified endpoint using basic authentication, reads the response in Feather format, and returns the data as a data frame. The resulting data frame is cleaned by renaming and removing certain columns.

Usage

ga_api_benthic_list(username, password)

Arguments

username: A character string representing the username for API authentication.
password: A character string representing the password for API authentication.

Value

A data frame containing the list of benthic species. The data frame includes columns for species details, with some columns removed for clarity.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Retrieve the benthic species list using API credentials
species_list <- ga_api_benthic_list("your_username", "your_password")
print(species_list)
} # }
