Build it
What do you want Knack 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 1 trigger · 19 actions
Trigger
New View RecordFires when a new record appears in a Knack page view — polls a view's records (respects the view's access control and filters), the view-based counterpart to New Record.
Action
Create RecordAdd a new record to a Knack object. Provide field values as a JSON object keyed by field key (e.g. field_1).
Action
Create View Recordcreate a record through a view, including inserting a connected record (view-based)
Action
Delete RecordDelete a record from a Knack object by ID.
Action
Delete View Recorddelete a record through a view (view-based)
Action
Get RecordRetrieve a single record by ID from a Knack object.
Action
Get View RecordRetrieve a single record through a page view by its ID — returns only the fields exposed by the view and respects the view's access control, the view-based counterpart to Get Record.
Action
List RecordsRetrieve records from a Knack object, with optional paging and filters.
Action
List View Recordsretrieve records through a view (view-based, applies view permissions/filters)
Action
Update RecordUpdate an existing record in a Knack object by ID.
Action
Update View Recordupdate a record through a view (view-based)
Action
Upload File or Imageupload a file or image asset to associate with a record field
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.
