Dear Scott,<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your answer. I also added the
"&highertaxonKey=6" param to narrow the results for plant genera
only.<br>
<br>
To be more precise what I exactly wish to achieve is as follows:<br>
<br>
1./<br>
I only want to search within the "Plantae" kingdom.<br>
<br>
2./<br>
Say, I look for the GENUS name "Adonis" but I only remember that the
name starts with "Ado".<br>
<br>
3./<br>
So my ideal API call would run a wildcard search within PLANT GENERA
names for "Ado*" and would result in a list of ALL (without limit)
plant genera names starting with "Ado*".<br>
<br>
I played with the "/species/match", "/species/search" and
"/species/suggest" sub-apis and with the "q" and "name" params. They
don't accept wildcards and don't give the expected results for name
chunks without wildcards.<br>
<br>
Now my only hope is that I left out some constellations or misused
something.<br>

list members,<br>
<br>
I'm new on this list and also new to the GBIF API. I'd like to
get a<br>
list of all the genus names occuring in the GBIF database.
After several<br>
hours of trying with the API, and no success, I found this
mailing list.<br>
I hope that API guru members on the list can show me the right
way or<br>
tell if this is not possible at all.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance.<br>
