Explore feasibility of allowing legacy search behaviour for eventDate field #346

Closed MattBlissett closed 4 months ago

MattBlissett commented 7 months ago

We have had a request to allow searching on eventDate using the previous behaviour, where date ranges were mapped to a single point in time (usually the earliest part of the range, but other interpretations were possible).

We need to see what's possible with the current search index and download system.

This was implemented and is live on api.gbif.org.

Is that then eventDateGte and eventDateLte? Should we add it to the tech docs?

MattBlissett commented 3 months ago

It's a conscious decision not to document a legacy API, which was only requested for a single user.
