Request Body

The request body for all the Dataqueries endpoint has “query” field under which values of facets for filtering can be plugged in. While the “query” field is common for all the endpoints, the /species/observations has two more fields namely, "page_number” and “page_size”.

All the fields in request body are similar to EcoPlots API search queries except for “exact_match” field under the “query”. The following are all the subfields under “query” field in request body.

• "dataset": ["dataset-url-1", "dataset-url-2", ...]

• “date_from": "2020-01-01"

• “date_to": "2023-05-09"

• “exact_match": false
  In comparison to the EcoPlots API search query, the only added field in the request body is related to the "query" parameter. This parameter provides users with the flexibility to choose between a full-text search or tokenised word search for a given species name across all the records stored in the database. For example, when the "exact_match" is set to true and the given speciesname is Allocasuarina torulosa. The API will be returning only the documents containing exact species name while setting it to false will result in documents that has either Allocasuarina or torulosa or full Allocasuarina torulosa.

• “feature_type": ["feature-type-url-1", "feature-type-url-2", ...]

• “observed_property": ["observed-property-url-1", ...]

• “region": ["region-url-1", "region-url-2", ...]

• “site_id": ["site-id-url-1", "site-id-url-2", ...]

• “spatial": { }

Below is an example of mock request body. Please note that for endpoints other than /species/observations, "page_number" and "page_size" is NOT required.
