It looks like http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/64364 is indexed
at both http://data.gbif.org/occurrences/606641999 and
http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/891075685. Does this mean the same
records have completely different identifiers in the old and new
systems? Additionally, do identifiers change every time an external
source gets indexed, or was this switch just due to migration to a new
data store? Please tell me they don't change on every index. I'm
trying to use the API to check whether iNat observations have been
indexed by GBIF and the link back to the GBIF version on each
observation page. If the identifiers change, that means the links will
break every time you re-index us.

Hi Gaurav,
the correct call to the species match service is this:
http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/species/match?name=Hoolock+hoolock%E2%80%9D
I'm surprised it did work before, I don't think we changed the URL in this release.
We *did* finally do a new deploy though yesterday morning so you should see a slightly enhanced occurrence API now.
best,
Markus

I can still access other API services, such as “http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/species/search?q=Hoolock+hoolock”.

Hello,
Thanks for the notice of the new multimedia feature. Are there any new
parameters, perhaps a parameter that accepts a logical to limit to
records with media data.
Cheers, Scott Chamberlain
