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
