Hello
You will have to use taxonKey for the species of your interest i.e. http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/count?taxonKey=2974832 should produce required result.

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 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__api.gbif.org_v1_occurrence_count-3FScientificName-3DVicia-2Bfaba&d=DwMFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=x4Jq5JthFx0F-_J4c6ssOZGgyYp3W6VaswmEvae3Pv0&m=CwACpnDe-hcCFKBbsCUG5-9iBRQZlyIk7EZ8c16lZ1I&s=Hqz3dkLCynTyoQHX9-B71mr0OjLvUqoOcSp5CRzZi9c&e=>" 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?
