[API-users] GBIF Occurrence Detail URLs

[Matthew Blissett]

Hi Keith,

There is indeed a hidden "redirect on single result" parameter. You can 
use it like this:

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/first?occurrence_id=urn:catalog:USF:Herb:261924 
<https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?occurrence_id=urn:catalog:USF:Herb:261924&advanced=1>

We are thinking of improving the API so users know what the GBIF ID 
would be (i.e. a combination of datasetKey and occurrenceId), but if 
that happens it will be next year some time.

Cheers,

Matt
