[API-users] Requesting Occurrence Data for Large List of Species

3 Apr 2019

      Hello,

If I have a list of around 3,000 species, and I would like to request
occurrence data for each species, is it more efficient to use the Search or
Download API?

If using the Download API, could I include the list of species in an
external query file and use the "in" predicate? For example:

{
  "creator":"userName",
  "notification_address": ["userName@example.org"],
  "predicate":
  {
    "type":"in",
    "key":"SCIENTIFIC_NAME",
    "values":["cat1","cat2","cat3"]
  }
}

Thanks,

Ben
