Hi Bastiaan,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">the GBIF page for <span style="font-family: Terminus;" class="">Syrphidae </span>is</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://www.gbif.org/species/6920" class="">http://www.gbif.org/species/6920</a></div>
<div class="">or here in a preview of our upcoming new portal:</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://demo.gbif.org/species/6920" class="">https://demo.gbif.org/species/6920</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">GBIF does not provide a software to setup your website, but you can surely use our API to build your own <span style="font-family: Terminus;" class="">Syrphidae portal.</span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Terminus;" class="">The GBIF portals above both exclusively use our own API, so all the information is openly accessible to you:</span></div>
<div class=""><a href="http://www.gbif.org/developer/species" class="">http://www.gbif.org/developer/species</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you need help with the API please let us know what you try to achieve.</div>
<div class="">This call for example lists all accepted genera in that family:</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/search?datasetKey=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c&higherTaxonKey=6920&rank=GENUS&status=accepted&q=" class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/search?datasetKey=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c&higherTaxonKey=6920&rank=GENUS&status=accepted&q=</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This lists children of the genus imosyrphus Bigot, 1882:</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/1534459/children" class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/1534459/children</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">... or the family wth 10 records per page and an offset of 20:</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/6920/children?limit=10&offset=20" class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/6920/children?limit=10&offset=20</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The images you see on our upcoming portal are occurrence images which you can retrieve with such a call knowing the gbif taxon key (<span style="font-family: Terminus;" class="">Syrphidae in this case)</span>:</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?mediaType=stillImage&taxonKey=6920" class="">http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?mediaType=stillImage&taxonKey=6920</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hope this helps and gives inspirations.</div>
<div class="">You can also download the entire backbone if you want to:</div>
<div class=""><a href="http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/readme.html" class="">http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/readme.html</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We try to update it 3-4 times a year.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Best,</div>
