Dear all,
as you all know at the end of last year the Catalogue of Life has moved to a whole new infrastructure and now offers a new and richer API. As I had a few similar requests vie email lately I thought it would be good to give you a quick introduction to get started, while we are still working on better documentation.
The basic concept has changed in the sense that the API does not only expose the Catalogue of Life (COL), but all of ChecklistBank (CLB) which hosts a large number of taxonomic or nomenclatural datasets including the sources that we use to assemble the COL. You can read here more about it: https://www.catalogueoflife.org/about/colpipeline
The base URL of the API uses Swagger to exposes a rudimentary documentation of all the available REST resources and allows you to test it with real data: https://api.catalogueoflife.org
In order to access the latest version of COL you need to use the datasetKey=3LR (note that the swagger generated API docs do not allow strings, please use the currents release key 2242 for testing or curl). Pretty much all calls of interest to you should be scoped under http://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/3LR
In order to search for a name you could be doing this: http://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/3LR/nameusage/search?q=Abies&rank...
To get taxon details for a given taxonID this does most of it: Basics: http://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/2242/taxon/5QQJ9 Full Infos: http://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/2242/taxon/5QQJ9/info
To browse the tree you can use the Tree API which in its basic form works like this: Root taxa: http://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/3LR/tree Plant Children: http://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/3LR/tree/P/childrenhttp://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/3LR/tree/P
We now also offer reusable React UI components that you can embed in your own site or application to browse the tree, search and present species pages: https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/portal-components
We have also migrated the previous "legacy" API which you can access with the latest data from https://api.catalogueoflife.org/col/webservicehttps://api.catalogueoflife.org/col/webservice?name=Abies%20alba&format=json&response=full like this: https://api.catalogueoflife.org/col/webservice?name=Abies%20alba&format=...
There are a few small differences how we treat references compared to the previous version, otherwise it should work just as before. We do consider this a legacy API and would like to encourage everyone using it still to migrate to our new API above.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions on this list if you want to know more on how to use our API.
With best wishes, Markus

Dear Markus,
Thanks for this information, it is very welcome.
One quick question: I develop an application that depends on the old-style taxon identifiers (e.g., c526234e655cec65618f58161d24932a), as it uses its own dataset that cross-references these. It currently uses the 2019 annual checklist webservice:
https://www.catalogueoflife.org/annual-checklist/2019/webservice?name=Picea%... https://www.catalogueoflife.org/annual-checklist/2019/webservice?name=Picea%20abies%20abies&format=json &format=json
I would be happy to migrate to the new webservice API, but that would only possible if I can still query taxonomic classifications by old-style taxon id, as well as search for old-style taxon ids by taxon name. Is that possible? I do not immediately see an attribute with the old identifier in the sample queries you provided.
And should migration to the new API not be possible for me: could you give an indication how long the 2019 annual checklist webservice is expected to remain available?
Best,
Jorn

Hi Jorn,
we unfortunately do not have the old IDs directly embedded in the taxon data. But there are ways to deal with the problem:
We provide a simple mapping file of old to new identifiers that you can use to locally update your data: https://download.catalogueoflife.org/col/legacy_id_map.tsv.gz
The legacy API and portal is setup to redirect old IDs to their counterpart in the new applications
Abies alba examples:
COL 2019 legacy portal: http://www.catalogueoflife.org/annual-checklist/2019/details/species/id/12dc...
legacy ID redirected to latest version in new portal https://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/12dca9c49741815f82400...
legacy ID redirected to latest version in new API, Accept header required: curl -L -H "Accept: application/json" "https://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/3LR/legacy/12dca9c49741815f82400bb7b..."
If you use the new search and other features old IDs are not directly supported. We will keep all historic annual checklist versions running on the old software stack. But all new releases will only be available via the new API which also includes the ported legacy API, but not the old IDs (apart from above's redirects).
Best, Markus

Thanks Markus!
I can see the mapping between legacy and new identifiers could be useful for my purpose. However, it seems to cover species only, not higher taxonomic ranks. I would need both. Does something similar exist for those higher ranks?
Glad to hear the webservices for historic annual checklists will keep running for the foreseeable future.

Dear all,
the Catalogue of Life is driven by the underlying ChecklistBank (CLB) API which is currently served from https://api.catalogueoflife.org/http://api.catalogueoflife.org/ As the CLB component has broader context then just the Catalogue of Life and is currently a shared investment by both COL & GBIF, we decided to move it away from the COL domain and instead use the neutral domain checklistbank.orghttp://checklistbank.org.
We plan to do this migration in the next days, keeping the old domain running for at least until end of march. Please be prepared to update any use of our API once you hear about the final deployment on this list soon. The COL portal will not be effected by these changes.
Starting with the domain migration we will also synchronise ChecklistBank with the GBIF registry, so that all checklist datasets with any of the CC licenses published to GBIF will also be available there.

Yes, the Checklist Bank website will be on https://www.checklistbank.org in a few hours. We will also move the downlaods to https://download.checklistbank.org
Redirection will be setup for the old domain for all of them, so old links will still be working.

Dear all,
the Catalogue of Life is driven by the underlying ChecklistBank (CLB) API which is currently served from https://api.catalogueoflife.org/http://api.catalogueoflife.org/ As the CLB component has broader context then just the Catalogue of Life and is currently a shared investment by both COL & GBIF, we decided to move it away from the COL domain and instead use the neutral domain checklistbank.orghttp://checklistbank.org/.
We plan to do this migration in the next days, keeping the old domain running for at least until end of march. Please be prepared to update any use of our API once you hear about the final deployment on this list soon. The COL portal will not be effected by these changes.
Starting with the domain migration we will also synchronise ChecklistBank with the GBIF registry, so that all checklist datasets with any of the CC licenses published to GBIF will also be available there.
With best wishes, Markus
