Need: search of data where specimen "preparation" information exists. | |
Possibilities: | |
https://search.idigbio.org/v2/search/records/?rq={"data.dwc:dynamicProperties":["preparationType","preparation"]} | |
returns hits where the strings _preparationType_ or _preparation_ are found in the dynamicProperties data | |
currently returns over 200 records | |
note with this query - you could also search for strings like "alcohol" or similar | |
https://search.idigbio.org/v2/search/records/?rq={"data.dwc:preparations":{"type":"exists"}} | |
returns over 53M records where the field dwc:preparations is present | |
https://search.idigbio.org/v2/search/records/?rq={"family":["cyprinidae","ictaluridae"],"data.dwc:preparations":{"type":"exists"}} | |
returns now limited by family, returning records that have dwc:preparations for specimens with | |
cyprinidae or ictaluridae provided as family | |
Options for Downloading Data: | |
Using Firefox as your Browser: once search is run, you can filter the results using the Filter JSON option | |
(see top right of your screen). (Chrome does not have this feature automatically, you would need to add an extension). | |
simply type in text string like | |
alcohol or perhaps just a partial string like alc | |
and the software will limit the recordset to only records with the string you entered. | |
Once search is run (using any browser), you can download the data (in JSON format). |
