IDigBio API: Difference between revisions

iDigBio has transitioned from version 1 to version 2 (v1 to v2) of the API. All v1 endpoints and documentation should be considered depricated, even if they continue to function. Programmers who are interested in accessing data directly in iDigBio via an API should consult the v2 API documentation. '''The v2 API is also known as the iDigBio Search API.'''

The [https://github.com/idigbio/idigbio-search-api/wiki iDigBio API v2 / iDigBio Search API specification] includes detailed information about the Search API endpoints, parameters, query format, values, and returns. It is available in the github wiki associated with the [https://github.com/iDigBio/idigbio-search-api code repository]. The iDigBio Search API was released to production in June 2015.

The now deprecated [[iDigBio API v1 Specification]] includes detailed information about the old v1 API endpoints, parameters, values, and returns. In most cases, the only reason to use the v1 API was to retrieve raw, unprocessed versions of a record (e.g. no iDigBio data quality enhancements) or to access previous versions of a particular record.
