<div>Hi Nils</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We don’t have any OGC services, but there is an asynchronous download API which can deliver CSVs.</div>
<div>Off the top of my head, the only way you can automate this at the moment would be to do periodically issue a download (e.g. Daily) process as you see fit, and cache the result for your app.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the download API you can get any size from 1 - > 660 million records, which is why it is asynchronous. It’s used a lot by various applications and communities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this helps,</div>
<div>Tim</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">Dear all <br>
<br>
Here is an current problem to solve :-) for the birdhouse WPS and GBIF developers.<br>
There is a species distribution process in the birdhouse WPS, processing Climate data based on occurrence coordinates from GBIF.
<br>
<br>
Currently the GBIF data are given to the process via an url of the GBIF csv (which had to be generated manually before).<br>
I was implementing a direct occurrence search from birdhouse to GBIF with pygbif. Worked fine BUT: there is a limit of 300 records which is far to less to train the Species distribution model.
<br>
<br>
So here the question: Is there a way to request the species occurrence coordinates somehow directly (e.g. like a WPS request)?
<br>
<br>

<p dir="ltr">Nils,</p>
<p dir="ltr">No, there is no other way to get at once a larger number of records using the GBIF API (although one could be able to achieve this by sequentially querying the server using "batches" of 200 or 300 records each). As I said, there are good operational
reasons for the GBIF developers to have imposed such limit.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As of your other question, it should better be put to the GBIF developers themselves (in the discussion list, so that we can all benefit from the answers! :-))</p>

Oh ... <br>
No way to set it unlimited?<br>
The 'manual via browser' option and parsing the returning csv is the current status.
<br>
or any alternative to pygbif?<br>
<br>
If I understood it correctly, GBIF database is organized as Web Server, so I gues there should be a way to connect to the birdhouse WPS, am I right?

works fine. Thanks a lot. Just have a question for the search limits: <br>
<br>
The maximal records seems to be limited to 300. Is that on purpose?<br>
And requesting more than 200000 gives a 'bad request'<br>
<br>
Merci <br>

Hi Mauro and Scott<br>
<br>
Was checking out pygbif. seems to be a very useful tool.<br>
<br>
Can you help me with the syntax (or forward me to the appropriate person<br>
;-) )<br>
The given snippets of code are outdated.<br>
<br>
I am basically just looking for the occurrence coordinates:<br>
here is my first try :<br>
<br>
import pygbif<br>
occ = pygbif.occurrences.search(scientificName='Fagus sylvatica')<br>
occ['count']<br>
<br>
... and further? ;-)<br>
<br>
the examples in the docu are throwing errors:<br>
<br>
key= pygbif.name_suggest(q='Helianthus annuus',rank='species')['key']<br>
pygbif.search(taxonKey=key[0]['key'],limit=2)<br>
<br>
from pygbif import occurrences as occ occ.search(taxonKey = 3329049)<br>
occ.get(taxonKey = 252408386) occ.count(isGeoreferenced = True)<br>
occ.download_list(user = "sckott", limit = 5)<br>
occ.download_meta(key = "0000099-140929101555934")<br>
