Subject: Re: Search on the GBIF REST services

Dear Javier,

The structures are now stable.  Sorry not to have copied you on my emails on what was changing.  Adding "&coordinatestatus=true" should limit responses to those with coordinates.  You can also use "&coordinateissues=false" to exclude records where we have detected that the coordinates do not match the supplied country name.

Hey Donald,

I am fixing some stuff on the prototype we did in Brasil and I had to change my code to reflect the new format that the rest services are sending now. Is this more or less stable now?

And another question, would be possible to ask the service to return only occurrences with coordinates. For us is not of much use occurrences without coordinates.

Thats the query I am trying

http://newportal.gbif.org/ws/rest/occurrence/list?format=brief&minLatitude=-90&maxLatitude=90&scientificname=Puma+concolor 

Thanks in advance.

Javier.
