query |
Query term(s) for full text search. The value for this
parameter can be a simple word or a phrase. Wildcards can be added to the
simple word parameters only, e.g. |
country |
NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. Filters by country as given in
isocodes$gbif_name, e.g. |
type |
Type of dataset, options include occurrene, metadata, checklist, sampling_event (http://gbif.github.io/gbif-api/apidocs/org/gbif/api/vocabulary/DatasetType.html) |
subtype |
NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. Will allow filtering of datasets by their dataset subtypes, DC or EML. |
keyword |
Keyword to search by. Datasets can be tagged by keywords, which you can search on. The search is done on the merged collection of tags, the dataset keywordCollections and temporalCoverages. |
publishingOrg |
Publishing organization. A uuid string. See
|
hostingOrg |
Hosting organization. A uuid string. See
|
publishingCountry |
Publishing country. See options at isocodes$gbif_name |
decade |
Decade, e.g., 1980. Filters datasets by their temporal coverage broken down to decades. Decades are given as a full year, e.g. 1880, 1960, 2000, etc, and will return datasets wholly contained in the decade as well as those that cover the entire decade or more. Facet by decade to get the break down, e.g. /search?facet=DECADE&facet_only=true (see example below) |
continent |
Not yet implemented, but will eventually allow filtering datasets by their continent(s) as given in our Continent enum. |
limit |
Number of records to return. Default: 100. Maximum: 1000. |
start |
Record number to start at. Default: 0. Use in combination
with |
pretty |
Print informative metadata using |
description |
Return descriptions only (TRUE) or all data (FALSE, default) |
curlopts |
list of named curl options passed on to
|
A data.frame, list, or message printed to console (using
pretty=TRUE).
Some parameters can tak emany inputs, and treated as 'OR' (e.g., a or b or c). The following take many inputs:
type
keyword
