Hi David,

Data Pipelines is not live yet but we are very close, we are currently working on completing the ingestion of production data (i.e., data currently on the NBN Atlas). Unfortunately this means that the issue with Custom download has not been resolved. We do apologise for this and for any inconvenience caused.

Here's the link to the NBN Atlas Occurrence download web service - https://api.nbnatlas.org/#ws4

Here's a suggested workflow for using the Occurrence download ws for your use case:

1. Complete an occurrence search as normal

2. Append the 'q' and 'fq' parameters from the search URL to the Occurrence download ws, e.g.,
'https://records-ws.nbnatlas.org/occurrences/index/download?q=lsid:NBNSYS0000005645&fq=-occurrence_status:"absent"'

3. Then you will need to append the other required/optional parameters for the ws to the URL. All parameters need to be joined by the '&' symbol. The required parameters are:
a. 'email' (required) - the email for your NBN Atlas account
b. 'reasonTypeId' (required) - see reasonTypeId options here - https://logger.nbnatlas.org/service/logger/reasons
c. 'qa' (optional) - supply 'none' for this parameter if you do not want data quality fields to be included in your download
d. 'dwcHeaders' (optional) - supply 'true' for dwc header names to be used, otherwise the names used in the 'Simple spreadsheet' download format will be used.
e. 'fields' - this is the parameter you will use to included the specified vice county field. You can copy the below text for this parameter, which includes the fields included in the 'Simple spreadsheet' download format and the field name for the vice county field. I have also attached the string of fields as a text file in case you have any trouble copying the test below.

id,occurrence_id,license,rightsholder,taxon_name,scientific_name_authorship,nomenclatural_status,common_name,taxon_concept_lsid,rank,occurrence_status,occurrence_date,day,month,year,occurrence_date_end_dt,end_day,end_month,end_year,raw_locality,grid_ref,longitude,latitude,coordinate_uncertainty,raw_depth,collector,identified_by,individual_count,organism_quantity,organism_quantity_type,organism_scope,organism_remarks,raw_sex,life_stage,occurrence_remarks,identification_verification_status,basis_of_record,collection_code,data_resource,data_resource_uid,data_provider,data_provider_uid,institution_code,kingdom,phylum,class,order,family,genus,grid_ref_100000,grid_ref_10000,grid_ref_2000,grid_ref_1000,country,state,vitality,cl256

4. Once you have built the URL, simply search for the URL in your internet browser and the download will be completed.
