Parameters (5)
Accept
(string, header, optional)
The media type for the response, including API version. Must allow `application/vnd.phylopic.v2+json`. If omitted, `*/*` (a wildcard allowing all types) is assumed, and the response's `Content-Type` header will be `application/vnd.phylopic.v2+json`.
build
(integer, query, optional)
Specifies the index of the build for the returned data. Only the current build is valid. Leaving this parameter out will yield a temporary redirect (`307`) to the same URL but with the current `build` value added to the query.
embed_items
(string, query, optional)
If `"true"`, includes `items` in `_embedded`. (This is a prerequisite for including any embeds on the items themselves.)
Constraints: {'pattern': '^true$'}
filter_collection
(string, query, optional)
Limits results to entities within the specified collection. Cannot be used alongside other `filter_*` parameters (except `filter_license_*` for images).
Constraints: {'pattern': '^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$'}
page
(integer, query, optional)
Specifies a particular page of items to retrieve.
