[API-users] Remove/filter by data from botanical gardens?

[Tim Robertson]

Hi Scott,

There is actually no easy way of doing this.  Filtering out BasisOfRecord=LivingSpecimen would get you some of the way there, and looking into the establishmentMeans a step further, but the some of the data just don’t have fields to filter them out.

Cheers,
Tim
