Tools 13 found in our last check

• gbif_match_species

  Match a scientific name against the GBIF backbone taxonomy. Returns the best-matching taxon with full classification and a confidence score (0–100). This is the mandatory first step for any GBIF workflow — it returns the backbone taxonKey required by gbif_search_occurrences, gbi…

• gbif_bulk_match_species

  Resolve up to 50 scientific names to GBIF backbone taxon keys in one call — the batch counterpart to gbif_match_species for checklist, inventory, and species-list workflows that would otherwise need one round trip per name. Each name is matched independently and results are retu…

• gbif_get_species

  Fetch a single backbone taxon by its GBIF taxon key. Returns full classification, authorship, taxonomic status, vernacular name, descendant count, and publication reference. Use after gbif_match_species when you need the complete record rather than the match summary. When taxono…

• gbif_search_species

  Search or browse the GBIF backbone taxonomy by default, or an explicit checklist datasetKey. Accepts scientific name fragments, rank filters, and higher-taxon constraints. Useful for exploring what species exist under a higher taxon (e.g., "list all families of Coleoptera"), for…

• gbif_get_species_classification

  Return the parent chain for a taxon — from kingdom (or domain) down to the immediate parent of the queried taxon — as an ordered array. Each entry has its rank, canonical name, and taxon key. The array is returned root-first (kingdom → phylum → class → … → immediate parent of th…

• gbif_get_species_children

  List direct children of a backbone taxon — genera within a family, species within a genus, subspecies within a species. Paginated. Use gbif_match_species to get the taxonKey first, then iterate with offset for large groups.

• gbif_search_occurrences

  Search GBIF occurrence records with Darwin Core filters. Use taxonKey from gbif_match_species for reliable results — a key names exactly one taxon, where a scientificName shared across kingdoms matches nothing; a Catalogue of Life key goes in checklistTaxonKey with checklistKey…

• gbif_count_occurrences

  Count occurrences matching a taxon + location filter without fetching records. Use for quick totals ("how many Aves records in Sweden?") or before deciding whether to paginate a full search. Accepts taxonKey (or checklistTaxonKey with checklistKey, for a Catalogue of Life key),…

• gbif_get_occurrence

  Fetch a single occurrence record by its GBIF occurrence key. Returns the complete Darwin Core record — all coordinates, elevation and depth, administrative geography (GADM levels 0–3), dates, collections metadata, collector identifiers and record number, type status, establishme…

• gbif_occurrence_facets

  Aggregate occurrence counts across a dimension (COUNTRY, STATE_PROVINCE, YEAR, BASIS_OF_RECORD, DATASET_KEY, KINGDOM_KEY, etc.). Returns one page of facet values ranked by count descending — the top facetLimit at facetOffset 0, a later slice of the same ranking past that. No rec…

• gbif_search_datasets

  Search GBIF datasets by keyword, type, publishing country (uppercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), publishing organization, or hosting organization. The two organization filters answer different questions — publishingOrg matches the organization whose data it is, hostingOrg the organizat…

• gbif_get_dataset

  Fetch full dataset metadata by UUID key — title, description, citation text, contacts, license, DOI, record count, numConstituents (sub-datasets), temporal/geographic coverage, and the publishing organization key, which gbif_search_datasets takes as publishingOrg. Use after gbif…

• gbif_search_publishers

  Search organizations registered with GBIF by name fragment or country. Returns organization key, title, and country — sufficient to chain into gbif_search_datasets as publishingOrg for the datasets an organization published, or as hostingOrg for the ones its own installation ser…
