[API-users] How to simple distribution maps

[Matthew Blissett]

Dear Mauro,

I'm afraid this isn't possible in a single API call.  You need two 
calls, one for the land/sea basemap, and another for the occurrences:

https://tile.gbif.org/3875/omt/0/0/0@1x.png?style=gbif-classic

https://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?taxonKey=2974832

This can be done in static HTML but it requires an inline CSS property:

<img style="background-image: 
url(https://tile.gbif.org/3875/omt/0/0/0@1x.png?style=gbif-classic);" 
src="https://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?taxonKey=2974832" 
 >

I hope that helps,

Matt
