Dear Markus,
Thank you for the suggestions. I tried the Scientific name search under
Occurence search. It is really promising and worth considering to go
that direction. Why isn't it implemented at species search?

Dear Markus,
My idea is that based on the validation services provided by GBIF to
implement a search form with similar functionality (autocomplete, etc.)
as the "Search for scientific names" form at Catalogue of life:

What is your opinion, is
Give it a try then. Unless you have a huge user base this should not be
overloading GBIF.
We have decided to rather use a single field for the entire name and do an
autocomplete on that.
Maybe this approach also works for you, then you could also just use the
suggest as it is.
See the name filte
Dear Markus,
Thank you very much. Do you have any idea, using the "suggest" API would
it be possible somehow to filter the results for the Plantae kingdom only?

You will have to filter them clientside checking for records with kingdomKey=6
or kingdom="Plantae"

Dear Scott,
Many thanks for your answer. I also added the "&highertaxonKey=6" param
to narrow the results for plant genera only.
To be more precise what I exactly wish to achieve is as follows:
1./
I only want to search within the "Plantae" kingdom.
2./
Say, I look for the GENUS name "Adonis"
Hi J?zsef,
the GBIF API hardly anywhere accepts wildcards. Apart from fuzzy matching
entire words the only place you can use is the suggest API which should help
you with your problem.
It is a kind of autocomplete and you have to match the beginning of a word. It
wont match in the middle or en
Have you tried something like
http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/search?datasetkey=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c&rank=GENUS
where datasetkey=d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c is for the GBIF
backbone taxonomy

Hello to all list members,
I'm new on this list and also new to the GBIF API. I'd like to get a
list of all the genus names occuring in the GBIF database. After several
hours of trying with the API, and no success, I found this mailing list.
I hope that API guru members on the list can show me
