General guide to the FinBIF (Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility) REST API at api.laji.fi. Use this skill whenever the user mentions FinBIF, laji.fi, Finnish biodiversity data, Finnish species observations, or is building anything that queries biodiversity/nature data from Finland. Covers authentication, pagination, rate limiting, error handling, and endpoint overview. This is the starting point — read this first for any FinBIF-related task.
Provide a sample authenticated request to the FinBIF API including required headers and a simple endpoint such as /taxa
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To authenticate FinBIF API requests, include an Authorization header with required API-Version, Accept, and Accept-Language headers to successfully access Finnish biodiversity data endpoints.
Querying Finnish biodiversity data from api.laji.fi requires setting the API-Version, Accept, Accept-Language, and Authorization headers in your HTTP requests to ensure proper endpoint navigation and response formatting.
Pagination for FinBIF occurrence and taxonomy endpoints is handled through request parameters that offset result sets. This skill explains how to navigate these parameters and interpret responses to manage large volumes of species observations.
Yes, you can use this skill for querying Finnish species observations, taxa lookups, and dataset metadata. It serves as the starting point for building applications that consume FinBIF services and navigate its REST API endpoints.
Handling rate limiting and errors from the FinBIF REST API involves interpreting specific HTTP response codes returned by api.laji.fi. This skill outlines how to navigate these constraints and manage request parameters effectively.
You should use specialized FinBIF skills like finbif-occurrence or finbif-taxonomy for deeper, task-specific queries after reading this general guide. This skill clarifies when to transition from endpoint discovery to specialized biodiversity data retrieval.
