What is an API
API stands for Application Progamming Interface. It is a way for computer program to communicate with other system, in our case GRSciColl. Anyone can use the GRSciColl API to access the GRSciColl data programmatically.
Editors can also use the GRSciColl API to update the GRSciColl data programmatically. If you are interested in becoming an editor, please check our How-to page.
Introduction to the GBIF API
