Names endpoint #12
Comments
For a reference: http://www.gbif.org/developer/species There are a lot of things GBIF does that are not in scope and we don't have data for but these are some things others are doing with names. |
Right, makes sense. if this is out of scope, no worries |
Really, I was implying that GBIF has more/different data than us and some of the functions might not be possible. I'd like to find some functions that we can do though. A "distinct names from this query" end point seems obvious start. |
This would be a great place to start. |
i guess this is related to #1 |
Any news on this? |
No movement on a names endpoint per-se, but the beta search api (http://beta-search.idigbio.org/v2/search/records) is currently pointed at a prototype index that has GBIF taxonIDs and canonical names filled out for many of the records (39/56 Million). A combination of GBIF's API and ours would allow you search for a specific taxonID, then search idigbio for that taxon ID. Ex: Puma concolor TaxonID: 2435099 https://beta-search.idigbio.org/v2/search/records?rq={%22taxonid%22:2435099} |
Nice, seems like a useful feature - being able to search for occurrences in idig based on gbif taxon ids |
Would be great to have a
/names
endpoint - perhaps with parameters for querying/filteringThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
