Darwin Core Archive Extractor
Pricing
from $0.35 / 1,000 record extracteds
Point at ANY GBIF IPT host (ipt.gbif.org, VertNet, iDigBio, Canadensys, INBO...) and extract biodiversity data. Lists the dataset catalog, or streams a Darwin Core Archive into flat occurrence/taxon/event rows. Parses meta.xml authoritatively. Per-IPT runner, not the GBIF central API.
Base URL of any GBIF IPT (Integrated Publishing Toolkit) installation. You can paste the bare host, the host + path, or a full rss.do/archive.do URL — it is normalized automatically. Examples: https://ipt.gbif.org, https://ipt.gbif.es, https://data.canadensys.net/ipt, https://ipt.inbo.be, https://ipt.idigbio.org
resources = list every published dataset in the IPT catalog (cheap; one row per resource with its DwC-A archive URL, EML URL, publisher, guid, last-published date). archive = download one resource's Darwin Core Archive and stream its core file into one flat row per occurrence / taxon / event record.
The IPT resource identifier to download in archive mode (the ?r= value, e.g. 'quercus_parc_test'). Leave empty to auto-select the first published resource (optionally narrowed by the filter below).
Case-insensitive substring matched against each resource's title and key. In resources mode it filters the catalog; in archive mode it picks the first matching resource to download.
Maximum number of records to extract in archive mode. The archive is streamed, so large datasets are capped without loading everything into memory. Ignored in resources mode.
In resources mode, skip catalog items that are registered but have no DwC-A archive yet (no download URL).
In archive mode, attach a 'termUris' object mapping each short field name to its full Darwin Core / Dublin Core term URI (e.g. scientificName -> http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName).
