2 years ago Hi Rob is /api/wikidata/species/ part of the gbif api? No it is not a part of the public API. It is an internal unstable API that is used by the website. I wouldn't recommend using it. And it does not support doing it for records by the bulk.
is there and outline of the code that gets the taxon identifiers? I would ask you to use the Wikidata API. It is what we do. What is stopping you from using the approach I outlined in discourse? https://discourse.gbif.org/t/given-a-gbif-human-readable-webpage-for-a-species-how-to-find-the-api-call-for-each-item-on-the-page/3134/7

From looking he taxon identifiers box near the end of a species page, e.g. https://www.gbif.org/species/2285092
...my colleagues helped me deduce that code to get those values in that starts from around this line number in this repo:
If I assemble a URL endpoint call based on that, https://www.gbif.org/api/wikidata/species/2285092?locale=en
I get:

The above steps resolve my question here:
https://discourse.gbif.org/t/given-a-gbif-human-readable-webpage-for-a-species-how-to-find-the-api-call-for-each-item-on-the-page/3134
But my further questions are: Is /api/wikidata/species/ part of the gbif API? Can it get records in bulk.
Thank you.
