Integration
Connect Conversion Tools to GBIF
When something happens in Conversion Tools, your agent does the next thing in GBIF. Describe it in plain language and the automation is built, tested on every branch and kept running.
Build it
What do you want Conversion Tools and GBIF to do together?
Describe it and your agent reads both APIs, builds the automation, tests every branch and ships it. The list below is what exists today, not the limit.
Ask the assistant
You'll sign in before anything runs. What you typed comes with you.
Or work from Claude Code
Install the APIANT plugin for Claude Code and build, edit, test and read run history from your terminal. Every plan gets this, including free, and it spends no assistant credits.

Triggers and actions 4 triggers · 10 actions
Trigger
Conversion FailedTriggered when a file conversion fails, giving the reason it failed.
Trigger
Conversion Result AvailableTriggered when a finished conversion has its result file ready to download.
Trigger
Conversion StartedTriggered when a new file conversion is submitted, while it is still queued or running.
Trigger
Conversion Successfully FinishedTriggered when a file conversion finishes successfully.
Action
Convert FileUploads a file to Conversion Tools and starts converting it, returning the conversion ID. Use one of the result triggers or Convert File and Get the Result to pick up the converted file.
Action
Convert File and Get the ResultUploads a file to Conversion Tools, converts it, waits for the conversion to finish and returns a link to download the result.
Action
Find datasetsSearch across all datasets registered with GBIF (occurrence datasets, checklists, etc) by query text, type, publishing org, or country. GET https://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/search?q=&type=&publishingCountry=&limit=&offset=. Returns a paged list of matching dataset summaries (key, title, type, publishingOrganizationKey).
Action
Find occurrencesSearch occurrence records indexed by GBIF using structured filters (scientific name/taxonKey, country, dataset, date range, geometry, basisOfRecord, etc). GET https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search?q=&taxonKey=&country=&limit=&offset=. Returns a paged list of matching occurrence records (species observations/specimens with location, date, recordedBy, etc). Max 300 records per page, hard offset+limit cap of 100,000.
Action
Find speciesFull-text search over name usages (species/taxa) in the GBIF Taxonomic Backbone and other checklists. GET https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/search?q={query}&rank=&status=&highertaxon_key=&limit=&offset=. Returns paged list of matching name usages (key, scientificName, rank, kingdom, etc).
Action
Get datasetRetrieve full details of a single GBIF-registered dataset by its key (UUID). GET https://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/{key}. Returns dataset metadata: title, description, type, license, publishingOrganizationKey, doi, citation, etc.
Action
Get occurrenceRetrieve a single occurrence record by its GBIF occurrence id. GET https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/{gbifId}. Returns the full occurrence record: taxonomy, location (lat/lon/country), event date, recordedBy, dataset, media, etc.
Action
Get speciesRetrieve a single name usage (species/taxon) record by its GBIF usage key. GET https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/{usageKey}. Returns full taxonomic details (scientificName, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, rank, taxonomicStatus, synonym, etc).
Action
Match species nameFuzzy-match a scientific name string against the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy to resolve it to a canonical taxon key. GET https://api.gbif.org/v2/species/match?name={name}&rank=&kingdom=. Returns the best-matching usageKey/scientificName plus a confidence score and match type (EXACT/FUZZY/HIGHERRANK/NONE) — the standard way to resolve a free-text species name into a stable GBIF key.
Action
Parse scientific nameParse one or more free-text scientific name strings into their structured components (genus, specificEpithet, authorship, rank, etc) using GBIF's name parser. GET https://api.gbif.org/v1/parser/name?name={name} (repeat name= for multiple). Returns a list of ParsedName objects — useful for cleaning/normalizing user-entered species names before other lookups.
No trigger or action matches that. Ask your agent to add it: it reads the API documentation and builds what you describe.
