The iDigBio API is an abstraction layer for retrieving data from the iDigBio back-end data systems. This abstraction allows reuse and mashup of aggregated data without needing to understand the complex underlying details of the back-end data storage. Currently, the public API supports HTTP GET and POST requests for data read operations only. The iDigBio API is a RESTful web service that delivers data primarily as JSON documents. | The iDigBio API is an abstraction layer for retrieving data from the iDigBio back-end data systems.
