Build it
What do you want Shade 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.

Action
Copy a FileCopies a file or folder to another location within the same Shade drive.
Action
Create FolderCreates a folder at the path you supply in a Shade drive.
Action
Find an AssetReturns the assets in a Shade drive that match the text you search for, optionally narrowed by precision filters.
Action
Get Public Links for a File or FolderReturns the public share links that exist for a file or folder in a Shade drive.
Action
Search Asset ChunksSearch a Shade drive and get back matching assets together with the specific chunks (subclips, document passages, image regions) that matched, with a relevance floor you control per media type.
Action
Search for an Asset by DescriptionSearches a Shade drive with a plain-language description and returns the assets that match, using Shade's AI index.
Action
Share File or FolderShares a file or folder in a Shade drive with the people you list, at the role you choose. Each person is emailed an invitation.
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.
