This version switches all functions over the the new eBird API, given that the one previously used by rebird will be retired on October 1st. As such, many of the functions in rebird have changed, and the previous versions of the package will not work correctly.
ebirdtaxonomy()) require users to provide an API key, which is linked to your eBird user account. See the README.md or the package vignette for more info on how to set up a key. Alternatively, the key can be provided as an argument in all functions.rebird functions, now use species codes rather than scientific names for species-specific requests.species_code() function that converts from scientific name to species code and can be called within other functions.ebirdregioninfo() function that provides detailed information on a given eBird region .ebirdregion() now uses loc as its first argument instead of region as it allows for both regions and hotspots to be specified.ebirdloc(), ebirdhotspot(), and ebirdregioncheck() have been deprecated and will be removed in future releases. These functions still work in the updated API, but might cease to do so in the near future. ebirdregion() has the same functionality as the first two functions, while ebirdregioninfo() provides a more informative interface than ebirdregioncheck().auk, an R package that helps extracting and processing the whole eBird dataset (#60).ebirdfreq which stopped working due to changes on the eBird website (#52).dplyr::rbind_all function with dplyr::bind_rows (#43).httr::content after changes in httr v1.0.0 (#38).ebirdfreq and ebirdregioncheck, which provide historical frequency of observation data and check whether a region is valid under eBird, respectively.
