Hi, Matt!

The html code below works in a browser:

<img style="background-image: url(https://tile.gbif.org/3857/omt/0/0/0@1x.png?style=gbif-classic); src="https://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?style=classic.point&taxonKey=2974832"/>

I am using it as the basis for my "poor man's" solution for displaying distribution maps as static images outside a browser (ie., on a tailored desktop application). The trick is to grab both images and combine them into one!

Thanks!

With warmest regards,

Dear Mauro,

I'm afraid this isn't possible in a single API call.  You need two calls, one for the land/sea basemap, and another for the occurrences:

https://tile.gbif.org/3875/omt/0/0/0@1x.png?style=gbif-classic

https://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?taxonKey=2974832

This can be done in static HTML but it requires an inline CSS property:

<img style="background-image: url(https://tile.gbif.org/3875/omt/0/0/0@1x.png?style=gbif-classic);"
  src="https://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?taxonKey=2974832" >

I hope that helps,

Matt

Dear ALL,

I have already spent some hours now attempting to generate simple distribution maps using the GBIF maps API (https://www.gbif.org/developer/maps).

I have seen the base map examples (https://tile.gbif.org/ui/) and the raster style demos (https://api.gbif.org/v2/map/demo.html), but could not understand how I could get just a simple distribution map, overlaid on a base map in Mercator projection and 'classic' GBIF style, as a PNG (or JPEG) image, with a single API call (that is, without css, javascript, etc.). Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

With warmest regards,
