[API-users] eventDate parameter in occurrence/search?

[Kumiko Totsu]

Hi all,

I found a problem using 'eventDate' in the occurrence API. I could only
get results by range queries but not with a date.

14 results between 2014-03-10 and 2014-03-11
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?institutionCode=NIES&eventDate=2014-03-10,2014-03-11
0 result on 2014-03-11 (It should be 14 results)
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?institutionCode=NIES&eventDate=2014-03-11
0 result on 2014-03-10
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?institutionCode=NIES&eventDate=2014-03-10

The example below is totally fine, so it seems that not all data have
this problem.

14 results between 2015-03-17 and 2015-03-18
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?institutionCode=NIES&eventDate=2015-03-17,2015-03-18
14 results on 2015-03-18
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?institutionCode=NIES&eventDate=2015-03-18
0 result on 2015-03-17
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?institutionCode=NIES&eventDate=2015-03-17

Is there anything wrong with data or API?

Cheers,

Kumiko
