Additional parameters passed to internal functions

Value

Dataframe containing GNRS results.

Note

The fields the GNRS takes as input are titled "country", "state_province", and "county_parish" for simplicity, but these field actually refer to 0th-, 1st-, and 2nd-order political division, respectively. In the case of some exceptions (e.g. the UK) this distinction becomes important (e.g. Ireland is a 1st-order political division and should be treated as a "state_province" and cannot be matched as a country.)
