[API-users] Maps API returning nothing

[Mauro Cavalcanti]

Hi, Matt!

I still cannot generate a proper map. Using the most simple API call, with
all default parameters for a given taxon, I got just the density
distribution of points, without an overlaid map:
https://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?taxonKey=2974832

Is there a way of generating a simple 'classic' distribution map as in the
attached image?

Thanks in advance!

With warmest regards,
