The Download API can be used to generated [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Core_Archive Darwin Core archives] containing any amount of data up to everything that is in iDigBio. This API is documented on the [[iDigBio Download API]] wiki page. This API is useful when the size of the data you want exceeds what you can get through the search API.
