Awesome work guys, this make a number of data mining queries I used to have to run much easier and accessible right from the API/Download system.
Any chance that the protocol field could be made searchable? Its always frustrating when I can see fields in the API, but have no ability to inspect their contents other that iteration. It's like the data is locked away just out of reach. - Alex On 06/15/2016 09:44 AM, Federico Mendez wrote: > > Dear GBIFApiers, we are excited to announce some new features that are > now supported by there GBIF Portal and Occurrence API: > > 1.
