Many users come to GBIF.org in order to access occurrence records (the observation or collection of a specimen at a given time and place). They can also access information about species: their scientific names, taxonomy, and associated data like vernacular names or whether they are invasive in a given country.

This practical session will focus on accessing and downloading information about taxa. The first part will focus on the data from GBIF with an overview of what is available on the website and what can be accessed via the API. The second part will focus on accessing data from ChecklistBank.

If you are interested in the topic and would like to get the most out of the session, we encourage you to check our previous Data Use Club webinars on the GBIF Backbone taxonomy and our introduction to the GBIF API.
