Steps a workflow can run in iDigBio.

  • Search specimensSearch specimen records by scientific name, genus, family, country, state, institution, collector, collection dates, and whether they have images or coordinates, with an advanced query for any other field. Each specimen comes with its identification, where and when it was collected, its coordinates and links to its images. No API key required.
  • Get specimenGet one specimen record by its iDigBio id: its identification, the institution holding it, where and when it was collected and its images. An unknown id comes back marked as not found rather than failing the step. No API key required.
  • Search specimen imagesFind images of specimens matching the same filters as a specimen search, with a link to each image file, its licence and owner, and the specimen it shows. No API key required.
  • Count specimensCount the specimen records that match, without fetching them, to track how many specimens of a species, place or collector iDigBio holds. No API key required.
  • Get top valuesFind the commonest values of one field among the matching specimens, with how many records have each, such as the most collected maple species in a state or the institutions holding the most specimens of a genus. No API key required.
