EcoPlots endpoints allows access to a number of other more specialised data points.
Feature of interest attributes
In the TERN Ontology, a Feature of Interest (FOI) is an ecological scale (e.g. plant individual, animal population, soil, climate). Observations are grouped by ecological scales and the FOI type and feature identifier are returned for each observation. TERN’s LinkedData site has more information about Features of Interest.
Every instance of a FOI may have additional attributes related exclusively to that instance. This information can be accessed via the /foi/attributes endpoint.
Request example:
curl -X POST "https://ecoplots.tern.org.au/api/v1.0/foi/attributes?dformat=ndjson" -H "accept: */*" -H "X-Api-Key: aAbBcC...xXyYzZ" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"query\":{}}"

Instrument attributes
When an instrument was used to measure the result of an observation, the type of instrument and the instrument instance identifier was recorded along the observation data.
Information about additional Instrument attributes that are related exclusively to an instance can be accessed via the /instruments/attributes endpoint.

Taxon
EcoPlots stores Taxonomic information about all vegetative species collected in the various datasets. This information is sourced from Australian Plant Name Index
Taxon data can be retrieved using the /taxon endpoint.
