Download bin list from the IFCB Dashboard API
Source:R/ifcb_list_dashboard_bins.R
ifcb_list_dashboard_bins.RdThe api/list_bins endpoint was removed from the upstream IFCB Dashboard
(WHOIGit/ifcbdb@8c5839f1,
2026-03-08), so this function no longer works against the WHOI dashboard and
other deployments tracking upstream. Use ifcb_download_dashboard_metadata()
instead, which retrieves the same per-bin information from the still-supported
api/export_metadata endpoint.
Arguments
- base_url
Character. Base URL to the IFCB Dashboard (e.g. "https://ifcb-data.whoi.edu/").
- dataset_name
Optional character. Dataset slug (e.g. "mvco") to retrieve metadata for a specific dataset. If NULL, all available metadata are downloaded.
- quiet
Logical. If TRUE, suppresses progress messages. Default is FALSE.
