Dear ALL,
Before the implementation of the new GBIF Portal, it was possible to generate distribution maps for a given species using an API call as follows:
http://data.gbif.org/species/taxonName/ajax/returnType/concept/view/ajaxMapU...
where the value of the "query parameter" was a species name.
This API call has been used by Roderick Page in his "iSpecies" web biodiversity data aggregator, as well as in my own "eSpecies" (sort of a clone of Page's iSpecies, written in Python, see sourceforge.net/projects/especies).
Unfortunately, with the new GBIF Portal is seems that all API calls have changed and I got lost attempting to find out how to reproduce the previous behaviour using the new API. I presume it is still possible to generate distribution maps with the new API, but could not find out how. Can anyone offer some hints?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
With warmest regards,
