Hi Scott et al.
I implemented the pygbif in the SDM in birdhouse. Since there all required dependencies are fetched as conda buildouts Carsten (from DKRZ) was building a conda buildout. For those who uses anaconda (https://www.continuum.io/why-anaconda) it can be installed with
conda install -c birdhouse pygbif

Nils,
We do have some download API functions in pygbif, and there's a pull request now to add the methods to request downloads. We'll add some functionality to read darwin core dumps as well.

Hi Nils, It’s documented here: http://www.gbif.org/developer/occurrence#download You POST a JSON doc with the query using HTTP basic authentication. If you need any help, please say and we can provide some examples using CURL or python. I am actually working on a revision to the mapping API, and will see what may be possible returning distinct locations. It’s tricky to do in real time though. What kind of accuracy do you need please?

If not OGC service, how is the download API callable from outside of GBIF? Merci Nils On 02/06/2016 14:45, Tim Robertson wrote:Hi Nils We don’t have any OGC services, but there is an asynchronous download API which can deliver CSVs. Off the top of my head, the only way you can automate this at the moment would be to do periodically issue a download (e.g. Daily) process as you see fit, and cache the result for your app. In the download API you can get any size from 1 - > 660 million records, which is why it is asynchronous. It’s used a lot by various applications and communities.

There is a species distribution process in the birdhouse WPS, processing Climate data based on occurrence coordinates from GBIF. Currently the GBIF data are given to the process via an url of the GBIF csv (which had to be generated manually before). I was implementing a direct occurrence search from birdhouse to GBIF with pygbif. Worked fine BUT: there is a limit of 300 records which is far to less to train the Species distribution model. So here the question: Is there a way to request the species occurrence coordinates somehow directly (e.g. like a WPS request)? (The previous conversation is following) And some link for the background informations: Birdhouse: http://birdhouse.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ GBIF: http://www.gbif.org/ Species distribution process: http://flyingpigeon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/sdm.html Birdhouse architecture: https://github.com/bird-house/birdhouse-docs/blob/master/slides/birdhouse-architecture/birdhouse-architecture.pdf Merci Nils -------- Forwarded Message ------- Subject: Re: pygbif for occurrence coordinates Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2016 09:00:49 -0300 From: Mauro Cavalcanti <maurobio@gmail.com> <mailto:maurobio@gmail.com> To: Nils Hempelmann <info@nilshempelmann.de> <mailto:info@nilshempelmann.de> CC: wps-dev@lists.dkrz.de <mailto:wps-dev@lists.dkrz.de>, Carsten Ehbrecht <ehbrecht@dkrz.de> <mailto:ehbrecht@dkrz.de>, Wolfgang.Falk@lwf.bayern.de <mailto:Wolfgang.Falk@lwf.bayern.de>, Scott Chamberlain <myrmecocystus@gmail.com> <mailto:myrmecocystus@gmail.com> Nils, No, there is no other way to get at once a larger number of records using the GBIF API (although one could be able to achieve this by sequentially querying the server using "batches" of 200 or 300 records each). As I said, there are good operational reasons for the GBIF developers to have imposed such limit. As of your other question, it should better be put to the GBIF developers themselves (in the discussion list, so that we can all benefit from the answers! :-)) With warmest regards, -- Dr. Mauro J.

No way to set it unlimited? The 'manual via browser' option and parsing the returning csv is the current status. or any alternative to pygbif? If I understood it correctly, GBIF database is organized as Web Server, so I gues there should be a way to connect to the birdhouse WPS, am I right?
