Download and unzip USFS Fire Occurrence Database (FOD)

Source: R/get_nifc.R
get_fod.Rd

Downloads the USFS Fire Occurrence Database (FPA-FOD) GeoPackage ZIP archive from the Forest Service Research Data Archive and unzips it to a local directory. The server requires browser-like request headers, so httr2 is used instead of a simple download helper. If the ZIP already exists and overwrite = FALSE, no network call is made.

Usage

get_fod(
  directory = getwd(),
  overwrite = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

directory

character(1) directory where the ZIP file and unzipped contents are stored. Defaults to the current working directory.

overwrite

logical(1) re-download when TRUE; defaults to FALSE.

verbose

logical(1) print progress messages.

Value

character(1) path to the downloaded ZIP file (invisibly).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
zip_path <- get_fod()
zip_path <- get_fod(directory = "data/fod")
} # }
