Download and Save BC Data to GPKG

rfp_source_bcdata.Rd

Downloads a layer from the BC Data Catalogue, optionally intersects with a mask, and writes it to a GeoPackage.

Usage

rfp_source_bcdata(
  bcdata_record_id = NULL,
  path_gpkg = NULL,
  mask = NULL,
  layer_name = NULL
)

Arguments

bcdata_record_id

character A character string specifying the BC Data Catalogue record ID permanent id (7ecfafa6-5e18-48cd-8d9b-eae5b5ea2881), name of the record (pscis-assessments) or object name (ex. WHSE_FISH.PSCIS_ASSESSMENT_SVW). The name of the record can be found at https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/. This does not need to be in capitals as we will convert to capitals within the function.

mask
