export local neon store as a zip archive

Export all or select files from your neon store as a zip archive. This can be useful if you want to bypass accessing the API, such as for archiving the files required for your analysis so that they can be re-created by other users without an API key, or without waiting for the individual download, or any other tiem you want to share or distribute your local store.

neon_export(
  archive = paste(Sys.Date(), "neonstore.zip", sep = "-"),
  product = NA,
  table = NA,
  site = NA,
  start_date = NA,
  end_date = NA,
  type = NA,
  ext = NA,
  timestamp = NA,
  hash = NULL,
  dir = neon_dir()
)
