PTAGIS PIT Tag Events — queryTagEvents • PITcleanr

Query and download event metadata for one tag from PTAGIS. In the interest of not overwhelming PTAGIS with data requests, this function should not be used to query more than a thousand tags a day and there should be a couple of seconds between calls. If a user is looking for more than that, using the advanced reporting system in PTAGIS is the best option at this time.

queryTagEvents(
  ptagis_tag_code = NULL,
  api_key = NULL,
  type = c(NA, "mark", "recapture", "recovery", "observation")
)

Arguments

ptagis_tag_code: PTAGIS tag code
