Hi Scott,

Is that a typo in your message? The example you provide is missing  ))) at the end of the URL.  When you add it, it works, but returns no results which seems plausible.

http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?GEOMETRY=MULTIPOLYGON(((30%2020,%2045%2040,%2010%2040,%2030%2020)),((15%205,%2040%2010,%2010%2020,%205%2010,%2015%205)))

http://api.gbif-uat.org/v1/occurrence/search?GEOMETRY=MULTIPOLYGON(((30%2020,%2045%2040,%2010%2040,%2030%2020)),((15%205,%2040%2010,%2010%2020,%205%2010,%2015%205)))

Thanks,

Tim

Subject: [API-users] MULTIPOLYGON support appears to be gone?

Hi all, 

It appears that MULTIPOLYGON is rejected again now. E.g.,

http://api.gbif-uat.org/v1/occurrence/search?GEOMETRY=MULTIPOLYGON(((30%2020,%2045%2040,%2010%2040,%2030%2020)),((15%205,%2040%2010,%2010%2020,%205%2010,%2015%205

gives

Invalid simple WKT: MULTIPOLYGON(((30 20, 45 40, 10 40, 30 20)),((15 5, 40 10, 10 20, 5 10, 15 5

And same for api.gbif.org base URL. Did support for MULTIPOLYGON get reverted?

Thanks! Scott Chamberlain
