Install Usage Each of the functions map to a specific end-point in the API - with one or two exceptions where API calls are essentially identical. The functions can be grouped into five activities: fetching observations, getting information on hotspots, getting information on regions, getting lists of species and getting statistics. All functions support arguments (with sensible defaults) for all the query parameters supported by the eBird API. Check the docstring for each function for more details. There you will also find a link to the documentation for each end-point. To use the API you will need to register for an API key. All you need to do is fill out this form and the API key is generated automatically. NOTE: Use the API with some restraint. Data costs money so don't go downloading all the checklists for the world or other excessive behaviour or your account will get banned. If you have a project in mind get in touch with eBird and tell them what you want to do - they will be interested to hear it. Observations Any where you pass in single location or region you can also pass in a list or a comma-separated string. You can specify up to 10 locations or regions: The common name for species can be returned in different languages by specifying locale in the functions that return observations, checklists or taxonomy: In addition to getting all the observations","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/ProjectBabbler","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/ProjectBabbler/ebird-api/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
