<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Unfortunately we have no tool for creating these kind of SQL like queries to the portal. I am sure you are aware that the filters in the occurrence search pages can be applied
in combination in numerous ways. The API can go even further in this regard[1], but it not well suited for retrieving occurrence records since there is a 200.000 records ceiling making it unfit for species exceeding this number.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">There is going be updates to the pygbif package[2] in the near future that will enable you to launch user downloads programmatically where a whole list of different species
can be used as a query parameter as well as adding polygons.[3]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">In the meantime, Mauro’s suggestion is excellent. If you can narrow your search down until it returns a manageable download (say less than 100 million records), importing this
into a database should be doable. From there, you can refine using SQL queries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">One solution I have successfully adopted for this is to download the records (either "manually" via browser or, yet better, using a Python script using the fine pygbif library), storing them into a MySQL or
SQLite database and then perform the relational queries. I can provide examples if you are interested.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
Is there any API for making relational queries like taxonomy, location or timestamp?<br>
<br>
Thank you and best wishes<br>
