    Fishbase API in an OSS project

    Hello, I'm currently integrating the Fishbase API in a very simple OSS project (github.com/trackMyFish), which will be used to keep a track of what fish a person has. Do you have any requirements/wishes for usage in this project? Accreditation somewhere on the site, for example?

    Distribution & Distribution Range by Genus+Species

    https://www.fishbase.se/summary/Gymnelus-hemifasciatus.html The above is an example of searching the fishbase database using the "Genus+Species" field. It leads to a summary page for that genus+species. On that page under the heading "distribution" is the zone (example: "Arctic"), under the "heading distribution range" is the lat and long range (example: "83°N - 43°N, 55°E - 78°W"). The values for "distribution" and "distribution range" for each genus+species are what I would like to access. Can you show how to do this? Thanks

    Get ecology details by species (temperature, ph, etc.)

    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!

    Thanks and status request

    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.

    How do I filter results by country?

    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

    Can you pull pictures from Fishbase with the API?

    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?

    “Try it out” returns error 500

    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.

    Impossible to scroll down API routes

    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.

    Solved!

    How to get taxonomic rank and habitat by species id?

    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.

    Solved!
