# taxize manual

An R package for taxonomic information from around the web. 

`taxize` interacts with a suite of web APIs for taxonomic tasks,
such as getting database specific taxonomic identifiers, verifying
species names, getting taxonomic hierarchies, fetching downstream and
upstream taxonomic names, getting taxonomic synonyms, converting
scientific to common names and vice versa, and more.
