Hello all, My question concerns both the API and the GBIF website...
GBIF is aware of and ingests all of my specimen/occurrence data via a Darwin Core archive on our IPT instance. The information flow is one-way, however, so I don't know GBIF's internal, unique identifier (e.g. gbifID = 1503266467) which I need to know if I want to create a direct link to the occurrence page (e.g. https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1503266467). Using the API, I can obtain the gbifID via an API query such as http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?occurrenceId=urn:catalog:USF:Herb:261924 (the UUID we're currently using, soon to be replaced with a GUID) and I could batch process all of my occurrence records and store these ids (or do a real-time API lookup and redirect users). And using the Advanced Search I can link to https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?occurrence_id=urn:catalog:USF:Herb:261924&advanced=1 and get the single record in the search result. I'm curious to know if the GBIF website has any hidden (to me) auto-redirect capabilities that will send users to the matching occurrence page? Possibly a "redirectOnSingleResult=true" query string value that performs a redirect?
