Topic: Indicia Web Services - get species ID using getData and taxon_list_id

Hi All,
I'm working through the tutorial / code example here:

http://indicia-docs.readthedocs.org/en/ … -code.html

Excellent code and have it working straight away. We are planning on using this code on a non-indicia website to record sightings and send them straight into an indicia site.

So the first thing I need to do is get the species id. The code suggests using list 34. However list 34 (albeit on the test warehouse) seems to have big holes - for instance I cannot find red fox or grey squirrel.

So does anyone know what list I should use or where these species lists are documented?

Many thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve
The test warehouse version of the full list is indeed only a partial copy at the moment - updating it has simply never made it to the top of my list of priorities. When you switch to the live server you will find that list 15 is indeed complete. Apart from list 15 though, the rest of the lists are created for a specific purpose so not really documentable, if that makes sense.
Best wishes
