Download FLUXNET zip files — flux

Downloads zip files (one per site) for available FLUXNET sites.

Usage

flux_download(
  file_list_df = NULL,
  site_ids = "all",
  download_dir = "fluxnet",
  overwrite = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

file_list_df: When NULL (default), flux_listall() is used to determine the sites with data available to download (specific sites can be selected with site_ids). If file_list_df is supplied, it should be a data frame generated by flux_listall(), but potentially filtered to exlude some rows. This provides an alternative way of downloading only specific sites. See the examples for a possible use case. If file_list_df is not NULL, cache_dir, use_cache, and cache_age will be ingored but site_ids other than "all" will still be used.
site_ids: Character; either "all" to download all sites available, or a vector of site IDs. For example, c("UK-GaB", "CA-Ca2").
download_dir: The directory to download zip files to.
overwrite: Logical; overwrite already downloaded .zip files? If FALSE it will skip downloading existing files, unless they are invalid .zip files (e.g. due to partial download or corruption).
...: Arguments passed to flux_listall().

Value

Invisibly returns a tibble with the download URL, path on disk, HTTP status code, and whether or not the download was successful.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Download data for all available sites
flux_download()

# Download data for just select site IDs
flux_download(site_ids = c("UK-GaB", "CA-Ca2"))

# Download specific sites filtered by site metadata (IGPB  and data hub for example)
available_sites <- flux_listall()
to_get <-
  available_sites[available_sites$igbp == "CRO" & available_sites$data_hub == "AmeriFlux", ]
flux_download(file_list_df = to_get)

# Get a fresh list of available data and overwrite any existing downloads
flux_download(use_cache = FALSE, overwrite = FALSE)
} # }
