## Get taxonomic name for an AphiaID

### Description

Get taxonomic name for an AphiaID

### Usage

    wm_id2name(id, ...)

    wm_id2name_(id, ...)

### Arguments

`id` | (numeric/integer) an AphiaID, required. For `wm_id2name` must be `length(id) = 1`, but for `wm_id2name_` can be `length(id) >= 1`
`...` | named curl options. see `curl_options`

### Value

An character string that is the taxnomic name. When using underscore method, a list, named by the input IDs

### Singular vs. plural

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.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    wm_id2name(id = 105706)
    wm_id2name_(id = c(105706, 126436))

    ## End(Not run)
