How to simple distribution maps
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, -- Dr. Mauro J. Cavalcanti E-mail: maurobio@gmail.com Web: https://github.com/maurobio "Life is complex.

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 On 28/07/2023 22:07, Mauro Cavalcanti via API-users wrote:

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.po... "/> 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, Em sáb., 29 de jul. de 2023 às 05:12, Matthew Blissett via API-users < api-users@lists.gbif.org> escreveu:

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,
