[API-users] Getting number of records for a given scientific name

Dear ALL, Is there a way to retrieve the number of georeferenced records for a given scientific name using a GBIF API call? I tried something like " http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/count?ScientificName=Vicia+faba" but it of course didn't work. I realize this is a rather silly question, but most of the time I only access the GBIF API using Python (via pygibf) or R (via rgbif), and therefore I'm not used to direct calls to the API (what a shame!). Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide? Best regards, -- Dr. Mauro J. Cavalcanti E-mail: maurobio@gmail.com Web: http://sites.google.com/site/maurobio "Life is complex.
