  • Add file_thumbnail_url to get individual media record endpoint, making 2D thumbnail images available via API.
  • Streamline API responses. Only 401 unauthorized and/or 404 not found responses will be returned in cases of users lacking authorization, 403 responses are no longer returned by the API.
  • Add file metadata endpoint. It is now possible to get file object metadata for files associated with Media.
  • Add Media IIIF manifest endpoint. This endpoint can be used to get the URL for the IIIF Presentation manifest document for a Media. This endpoint requires a user API key.

  • Added field Taxonomy (GBIF) AKA taxonomy_gbif to Media and Physical Object search endpoints as a filter facet field and to Media and Physical Object responses as a response data field. This is an array of individual taxonomy terms ("Animalia", "Chordata", etc.) associated with a Media or Physical Object via a GBIF-aggregated taxonomy record. Around half of the specimens in MorphoSource currently have GBIF taxonomy linkages.
  • Changed field for Media and Physical Objects from taxonomy to taxonomy_name to show the distinction from taxonomy_gbif. This is for binomial names or for taxonomies without genus or species information, it will be a higher order name combined with "indet."
  • Simplified filter facet URL query parameter structure to a simpler f.field_name format. Also simplified filter facet field names significantly.
  • Improved documentation significantly. The Media and Physical Object response schemas now have field definitions and examples. For single-record query endpoints and multiple-record search endpoints, we've added details on query parameters and specifically filter facet fields, with example values in some cases.
