GBIF Dataset Search Starter
Use this skill to query the official GBIF dataset-search API and summarize a small biodiversity dataset result set.
What it does
- Searches GBIF dataset metadata with a free-text query.
- Returns compact dataset summaries including dataset keys, titles, DOI, license, and publishing country.
- Supports canonical-asset fallback for the main smoke query when the live API is transiently unavailable.
When to use it
- You need a runnable starter for
Biodiversity dataset discovery. - You want a lightweight biodiversity-metadata search step before downstream occurrence or phylogenetics workflows.
Example
python3 skills/ecology-evolution-and-biodiversity/gbif-dataset-search-starter/scripts/run_gbif_dataset_search.py \
--query puma \
--out scratch/gbif-datasets/puma_datasets.json
Verification
- Skill-local tests:
python3 -m unittest discover -s skills/ecology-evolution-and-biodiversity/gbif-dataset-search-starter/tests -p 'test_*.py' - Repository smoke:
python3 -m unittest tests.smoke.test_phase31_frontier_leaf_conversion_skills -v
