Topic: Excluding certain datasets from api calls

I'm trying to find a way to return only records other than our own when using api/taxonObservations and similar calls.

datasetKey allows me to specify our own datasets as a list, but there doesn't seem to be a parameter to say that these datasets should be excluded from the search. This would seem to be a simple and useful addition if it could be provided.

Is there a simple way to obtain only records from other organizations please?

Thanks, Keith

Hi Keith, there isn't anything gateway side that would do this at the moment, but it should be something that we can add, I will create a ticket for it

Thanks,

Re: Excluding certain datasets from api calls

I now discard our records from the response so have the equivalent behaviour, though it's slower because I am fetching lots of records from the Gateway that I don't want.  It's a practical workaround for now.
