I would like to have a search functionality that supports the %like% sql. something like this: https://fishbase.ropensci.org/species?Species=ramir inestead of filling in the whole word: https://fishbase.ropensci.org/species?Species=ramirezi How to achive this currently? Thank you for your answer.

I am trying to use the 'species' method and filter them by country. There does not appear to be a way to filter the results, please advise. Thanks

Hi again, Just a usability issue on the Fishbase API documentation (https://fishbaseapi.readme.io/v1.0/docs). The list of API routes on the left side of the page s quite long and does not fit in a single page. The problem is that, either using Chrome or Firefox, I cannot scroll down this list. I have to scroll down the central part of the page through all the service descriptions to get to the one I'm looking for. No big deal, but not very practical though. Thx, Franck.

I see that some of the available calls return jpg images in the JSON format. Is there any way to use this to display the same picture?

Dear Fishbase API people, The service "species by id" (https://fishbaseapi.readme.io/docs/species-by-id) does not return information about taxonomic rank and habitats. Conversely, service "taxa" does return this information, but for all species at once. How can I get this information for a given species id? Thanks in advance for your help and advice. Franck.

Hi, The “Try it out” tool does not work at the moment for at least the services species-by-id and synonyms: it returns an error 500. e.g. try species-by-id with id 4875. Yet, the services themselves seem to be working fine e.g. https://fishbase.ropensci.org/species/4875/. Regards, Franck.

This is just what I needed and until today it worked brilliantly. So a big THANKS for doing this! The github description states 'The testing server may be available only intermittently and all endpoints are subject to change.' As I am working on a long-lived project I need to know the stability and longevity of fishbaseapi. I would think the scientific community would be keen to have this as a reliable resource.

I'm trying to get information regarding a fish's natural envirornment parameters such as, temperature range, ph range, dGH or hardness, substrate etc. I have tried species by id, ecology filtered by SpecCode, and envirornment filtered by SpecCode. The ecology endpoint at least gives me some useful information about the species' diet, shoaling or schooling, etc but none of the parameters listed above. Any help would be great, thanks!

Hi, i need environment detail information/coloration detail information, i hit the api using SpecCode

I want to pass "zebra danio" for example to an endpoint to get the fish details. Is that possible?

Is it possible to get the response in a specific language? I tries Content-language in the header and also the language param, both didn't work.
