Ecology And Fish Data API - June 2022 Updates
Created: 30 June 2022 Updated: 30 June 2022
We have made some changes to the Ecology and Fish data API in June 2022 update:
Transitional and Coastal (TraC) water fish data and marine benthic invertebrate data are now included in the API.
Marine phytoplankton data are now updated on a monthly basis along with the other datasets.
Specific changes to the endpoints are detailed below:
Observations:
The date field has been changed from analysis_date to sample_date for the Biosys data. For NFPD data, the date is the event_date.
NFPD observations will now display the total number of runs. Values have been split out and renamed e.g. number_of_runs to make it easier to understand what each observation relates to.
Sites:
NFPD data now displays the Easting, Northing, Latitude and Longitude fields.
Sites by ID:
A bug preventing phytoplankton data being displayed inn this end-point has been fixed.
Reporting area has been added to the Biosys data.
Date of first survey, date of last survey and number of surveys fields have been added to the NFPD data along with location data such as eastings/northings etc.
Surveys:
Survey_lat and survey_long fields are now displayed for relevant marine Biosys surveys. Note: Freshwater Biosys surveys only have site lat/longs.
Surveys by ID:
This data has changed in structure to display the observations per survey. Additional location data has been added.
Taxa
This was not returning the full list of reference taxa in the Biosys dataset but this has now been fixed.
Species
There has been no change to this endpoint.
Observation types
Some new observation types have been added e.g. ‘A Marine Benthic Invertebrate Taxa Observation’
Observable properties
Comments are all now populated and any new observable properties have been added e.g. NUMBER_FOUND
