[API-users] Is there any NEO4J or graph-based driver for this API ?

[Mauro Cavalcanti]

Nicolas,

That's also a good option, although a little bit less easier to use than
pygbif.

Another option is rgbif (https://github.com/ropensci/rgbif), a R package
which has much of the same functionality of pygbif.

Best regards,
