<p>Hello<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>You will have to use taxonKey for the species of your interest i.e. <a href="http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/count?taxonKey=2974832">http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/count?taxonKey=2974832</a> should produce required result.<br>
</p>

<p>Regards,<br>

<div>Dear ALL,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a way to retrieve the number of georeferenced records for a given scientific name using a GBIF API call?
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried something like "<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__api.gbif.org_v1_occurrence_count-3FScientificName-3DVicia-2Bfaba&d=DwMFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=x4Jq5JthFx0F-_J4c6ssOZGgyYp3W6VaswmEvae3Pv0&m=CwACpnDe-hcCFKBbsCUG5-9iBRQZlyIk7EZ8c16lZ1I&s=Hqz3dkLCynTyoQHX9-B71mr0OjLvUqoOcSp5CRzZi9c&e=">http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/count?ScientificName=Vicia+faba</a>"
but it of course didn't work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I realize this is a rather silly question, but most of the time I only access the GBIF API using Python (via pygibf) or R (via rgbif), and therefore I'm not used to direct calls to the API (what a shame!).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,<br>
</div>
