[API-users] How to simple distribution maps

[Mauro Cavalcanti]

Hi, Matt!

The html code below works in a browser:

<img style="background-image: url(
https://tile.gbif.org/3857/omt/0/0/0@1x.png?style=gbif-classic); src="
https://api.gbif.org/v2/map/occurrence/density/0/0/0@1x.png?style=classic.point&taxonKey=2974832
"/>

I am using it as the basis for my "poor man's" solution for displaying
distribution maps as static images outside a browser (ie., on a tailored
desktop application). The trick is to grab both images and combine them
into one!

Thanks!

With warmest regards,
