Hi Benjamin, Download will be best.
However, there are limits and you will not be able to push 3000 in. You could either split it into groups of e.g. 300, or use a higher taxon and then implement a post-filter to throw away those not in your list (the latter is how I would do it). I am sorry for this nuisance, and this is a known issue that we do aim to address: https://github.com/gbif/portal-feedback/issues/1768 Thanks, Tim From: API-users <api-users-boun...@lists.gbif.org> on behalf of Benjamin Feinsilver <benjamin.feinsil...@gmail.com> Date: Wednesday, 3 April 2019 at 09.33 To: "api-users@lists.gbif.org" <api-users@lists.gbif.org> Subject: [API-users] Requesting Occurrence Data for Large List of Species Hello, If I have a list of around 3,000 species, and I would like to request occurrence data for each species, is it more efficient to use the Search or Download API? If using the Download API, could I include the list of species in an external query file and use the "in" predicate? For example: { "creator":"userName", "notification_address": ["usern...@example.org<mailto:usern...@example.org>"], "predicate": { "type":"in", "key":"SCIENTIFIC_NAME", "values":["cat1","cat2","cat3"] } } Thanks, Ben
