A programmatic interface to the Web Service methods provided by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; <<a href="https://www.gbif.org/developer/summary" target="_top">https://www.gbif.org/developer/summary</a>>). GBIF is a database of species occurrence records from sources all over the globe. rgbif includes functions for searching for taxonomic names, retrieving information on data providers, getting species occurrence records, getting counts of occurrence records, and using the GBIF tile map service to make rasters summarizing huge amounts of data.

The API (Application Programming Interface) provides users with the possibility of more complex data filtering options beyond what is available on the website. In this session, we will give you an overview of the GBIF API and accompanying documentation and provide an overview of key R and Python packages and their associated functions that provide access to the data via the API.
