Asynchronous download DwCA format no publishingOrgKey

Dear GBIF, Is there a reason why the Asynchronous download DwCA format doesn't have publishingOrgKey while the CSV format has it. We want to use the DwCA format because of the multimedia addition but realized the publishingOrgKey was missing. Hopefully publishingOrgKey will be included in the DwCA format so we don't need to download both formats. Thanks, Eli

Dear Eli, I don't know why it is this way, according to our API the term publishingOrgKey is "not exposed in user downloads": http://gbif.github.io/dwc-api/apidocs/org/gbif/dwc/terms/GbifInternalTerm.ht... Given a datasetKey (which is in the DwCA format), you can query for the publishingOrganizationKey with a query like http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/2814930a-3b93-48d6-b887-00979481ac9e, for example using "curl" and "jq": curl -Ss http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/2814930a-3b93-48d6-b887-00979481ac9e | jq .publishingOrganizationKey There are 20,000 datasets in a complete download, so making these queries and caching the result will probably be faster than using both download formats.

Thanks Matt. Yes, that will work for us. Will use the dataset API to get publishingOrgKey. We've actually already cached the ~20K dataset calls, so we are good. Thanks much. Eli On Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at 9:22 AM, Matthew Blissett <mblissett@gbif.org> wrote:
