Description

Count OAI-PMH identifiers for a data provider.

Usage

count_identifiers(url = "http://export.arxiv.org/oai2", prefix = "oai_dc", ...)

Arguments

url

(character) OAI-PMH base url. Defaults to the URL for arXiv's OAI-PMH server (http://export.arxiv.org/oai2) or GBIF's OAI-PMH server (http://api.gbif.org/v1/oai-pmh/registry)

...

Curl options passed on to GET

Details

Note that some OAI providers do not include the entry completeListSize (http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html#FlowControl) in which case we return an NA - which does not mean 0, but rather we don't know.
