R: Retrieve accepted TSN and name

itis_acceptname {taxize} | R Documentation

## Retrieve accepted TSN and name

### Description

Retrieve accepted TSN and name

### Usage

    itis_acceptname(searchtsn, ...)

### Arguments

`searchtsn` | One or more TSN for a taxon (numeric/integer)
`...` | Curl options passed on to `GET`

### Value

data.frame with with row number equal to input vector length, and with three columns:

- submittedtsn (numeric) - The submitted TSN

- acceptedname (character) - The accepted name - if the submitted TSN is the accepted TSN, then this is `NA_character_` because ITIS does not return a name along with the TSN if it's an accepted name. We could make an extra HTTP request to ITIS, but that means additional time.

- acceptedtsn (numeric) - The accepted TSN

- author (character) - taxonomic authority

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    # TSN accepted - good name
    itis_acceptname(searchtsn = 208527)

    # TSN not accepted - input TSN is old
    itis_acceptname(searchtsn = 504239)

    # many accepted names
    ids <- c(18161, 18162, 18163, 18164, 18165, 18166, 46173, 46174,
    46178, 46181, 46186, 46193, 46196, 46197, 46200, 46201, 46204,
    46207, 46867, 46868)
    itis_acceptname(searchtsn = ids)

    # many unaccepted names
    ids <- c(39087, 46208, 46973, 46976, 46978, 46980, 47295, 47445,

    47788, 47835, 47839)
    itis_acceptname(searchtsn = ids)

    # many: mix of accepted and unaccepted names
    ids <- c(18161, 18162, 47527, 47546, 47622, 46200)
    itis_acceptname(searchtsn = ids)
