10 years ago You need to use the argument "context_name" to indicate the context. It looks like you're just specifying "context", but this is getting ignored because it is not a recognized argument. Try this:
curl -X POST http://devapi.opentreeoflife.org/v2/tnrs/match_names -d '{"context_name":"Mammals", "names":["sorex montereyensis"]}' -H "content-type:application/json"Should result in:
{
"governing_code" : "ICZN",
"unambiguous_name_ids" : [ ],
"unmatched_name_ids" : [ "sorex montereyensis" ],
"matched_name_ids" : [ ],
"context" : "Mammals",
"includes_deprecated_taxa" : false,
"includes_dubious_names" : false,
"includes_approximate_matches" : true,
"taxonomy" : {
"author" : "open tree of life project",
"weburl" : "https://github.com/OpenTreeOfLife/opentree/wiki/Open-Tree-Taxonomy",
"source" : "ott2.8"
},
"results" : [ ]
}
I tried to get OT Ids for a list of mammals using context Mammals. It returned several Ids for non-mammals and the list is the same if I do not use the context.
this is the body of the POST: {"context":"Mammals", "names":["sorex montereyensis”]}
this is the return:
