Basic and experimental Gbif Taxon API library for Python
Project description
A simple and pythonic client for Gbif Taxon Webservice. Pretty much work in progress. See [Gbif Taxon Webservice API](http://data.gbif.org/ws/rest/taxon) for details.
OVERVIEW:
This is the way to use it:
>>> from gbif import Client >>> c = Client() >>> taxon = client.get_by(key=5661746) <Genus Orchid key=5661746 status='unconfirmed'> >>> taxon.key 5661746 >>> taxon.url 'http://data.gbif.org/ws/rest/taxon/get/5661746/' >>> taxon.fullname 'Orchid' >>> taxon.status 'unconfirmed' >>> taxon.primary True >>> # searching by scientific name and rank >>> c.search("Cymbidium") [<Genus Cymbidium key=16286243 status=unconfirmed>, <Genus Cymbidium key=16308408 status=unconfirmed>, <Genus Cymbidium key=14751259 status=accepted>, <SubGenus Cymbidium key=16069947 status=unconfirmed>] >>> c.search("Cymbidium", rank="subgenus") [<SubGenus Cymbidium key=6313072 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Cymbidium key=7843799 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Cymbidium key=7926640 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Cymbidium key=16069947 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Cymbidium key=7709563 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Cymbidium key=17001172 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Cymbidium key=7033101 status=unconfirmed>] >>> c.search("Cymbidium", rank="genus") [<Genus Cymbidium key=16286243 status=unconfirmed>, <Genus Cymbidium key=16308408 status=unconfirmed>, <Genus Cymbidium key=14751259 status=accepted>] >>> c.search("Cymbidium", rank="species") [] >>> c.search("aerides", rank="genus") [<Genus Aerides key=14750373 status=accepted>] >>> c.search("orchid", rank="genus") [<Genus Orchid key=5661746 status=unconfirmed>, <Genus Orchid key=16409837 status=unconfirmed>, <Genus Orchid key=23768848 status=unconfirmed>] >>> c.search("cattleya", rank="genus") [<Genus Cattleya key=13232033 status=accepted>] >>> c.search("Dendrobium", rank="genus") [<Genus Dendrobium key=13232902 status=accepted>] >>> c.search("Dendrobium", rank="species") [] >>> c.search("Dendrobium", rank="subgenus") [<SubGenus Dendrobium key=7927123 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Dendrobium key=16133082 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Dendrobium key=6417149 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Dendrobium key=6525783 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Dendrobium key=17000374 status=unconfirmed>, <SubGenus Dendrobium key=7035708 status=unconfirmed>]
