Request Body

All the fields in dataqueries request body are similar to EcoPlots API search queries except for "exact_match" field under the "query". To review the more general information about constructing search queries, see EcoPlots API - creating search queries.

The request body for all the Dataqueries endpoint has endpoints contains a "query" field under which values of facets for filtering can be plugged in field. This field allows users to specify what values should be used for filtering the facets. While the "query" field is common for all the endpoints, the
/species/observations dataqueries endpoint has two more fields namely, used for the pagination of large responses ("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 that can be used in the request body.

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

• "date_from": "2020-01-01"

• "date_to": "2023-05-09"

• "exact_match": false

• "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": { }

Compared with 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 using either a full-text or a tokenised word search.

For example, when the "exact_match" is set to true and the given speciesname is Allocasuarina torulosa. The ,the API will be returning return only the documents entries containing the exact species name while setting it as it has been entered. Setting "exact_match" to false will result in documents entries that has contain either Allocasuarina or torulosa or the full name of Allocasuarina torulosa.
