In GA4GHclient: A Bioconductor package for accessing GA4GH API data servers

#' @title searchCallSets function
#' @description Search for call sets (sample columns of VCF files).
#' @details This function requests \code{POST host/callsets/search}.
#' @param host URL of GA4GH API data server.
#' @param variantSetId The VariantSet to search.
#' @param name Only return call sets with this name (case-sensitive, exact match).
#' @param biosampleId Return only call sets generated from the provided BioSample ID.
#' @param nrows Number of rows of the data frame returned by this function.
#' If not defined, the function will return all entries. If the number of
#' available entries is less than the value of this this parameter, the function
#' will silently return only the available entries.
#' @param responseSize Specifies the number of entries to be returned by the
#' server until reach the number of rows defined in \code{nrows} parameter or
#' until get all available entries. If not defined, the server will return the
#' allowed maximum reponse size. Increasing this the value of this parameter will
#' reduce the number of requests and reducing the time required. The will not
#' respect this parameter if the value if larger than its maximum response size.
#' @return \code{\link{DataFrame}} object.
