02Data
What you can sync.
- Occurrences
- Species
- Datasets
- Organizations
Join GBIF API occurrences with your own figures, so plans and reports carry the market context they need.
Need more? Name any other GBIF API data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- No credentials
- A username and password
Public endpoints answer without credentials; for the rest, GBIF API uses a username and password.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick GBIF API.
Open Lake, pick GBIF API in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the GBIF API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the GBIF API documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example occurrences and species), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then GBIF API data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
