<p>Hi Doug,</p>
<p>You are correct about the occurrence download limits, it is about
the number of running download jobs, the size is not counted.</p>
<p>You can avoid the email notification by launching a request using
the API, and setting
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<span class="pl-s"><span class="pl-pds"></span>send_notification<span
class="pl-pds"> to false [1]. (This ought to be in the API
documentation, but I don't see it.) </span></span>You can
then poll for download status. See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gbif.org/developer/occurrence#download">http://www.gbif.org/developer/occurrence#download</a> :<br>
</p>
<p>- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/">http://api.gbif.org/v1/</a>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
occurrence/download/user/{user} for all downloads by a user -- you
need to use HTTP basic authentication here.</p>
<p>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/">http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/</a>{key} for one
download, e.g.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0055494-160910150852091">http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0055494-160910150852091</a></p>
<p>Hope that helps,</p>
<p>Matt<br>

<br>
<br>
I'm a newbie to the GBIF API and I have a couple of questions
about downloads. As background, I'm looking at the best way of
getting data from GBIF into the Atlas of Living Australia (the
bits we don't have already) properly split up into source datasets
for attribution. My questions:
<br>
<br>
With the occurrence download limits, am I right in thinking that
the limits refer to the number of download requests being
processed simultaneously? Can the downloads be of any size in
terms of number of records and detail?
<br>
<br>
Instead of being notified by email upon completion, is it possible
to poll the status of a download?
<br>
