Documentation on json results fields?

[zachary-foster]

I maintain the taxize R package that calls the https://verifier.globalnames.org/api/v1/verifications endpoint. I have a user requesting documentaion on the fields of the JSON output (converted into a table by taxize):

ropensci/taxize#951

I looked around the website and readme, but dont see any documentation describing the individual fields. Is this available somewhere? Does this change depending on the data source?

For example, I am looking for documentation on things like "globalId" in the following:

"dataSourceId": 1,
          "dataSourceTitleShort": "Catalogue of Life",
          "curation": "Curated",
          "recordId": "TX123",
          "globalId": "2284b0d6-d965-5c39-ace5-3ef673da6691",
          "localId": "33",
          "outlink": "http://www.catalogueoflife.org/annual-checklist/2019/details/species/id/d9ac988f149a3d2822d71c673be09317",
          "entryDate": "2020-06-30T00:00:00.000Z",
          "sortScore": 0,
          "matchedName": "Pomatomus saltator (Linnaeus, 1766)",
          "matchedCardinality": 2,
          "matchedCanonicalSimple": "Pomatomus saltator",
          "matchedCanonicalFull": "Pomatomus saltator",
          "currentRecordId": "TX543",
          "currentName": "Pomatomus saltatrix (Linnaeus, 1766)",
          "currentCardinality": 2

Thanks for the useful service by the way!

Hi @zachary-foster, sorry for the delay, I was away for a few weeks. Did you look at https://verifier.globalnames.org/api? There is a link there to API documentation. Let me know if this is not what you are looking for
