Welcome

How to get your API link (NBN Atlas)

  1. Go to NBN Atlas Spatial Search.
  2. Either draw a polygon on the map or Import an existing GIS area (e.g., a shapefile/GeoJSON boundary). The smaller the area/number of observations the quicker the results.
  3. Run the search to view results.
  4. On the results screen, click API (top-right). Copy the JSON web service API URL.
  5. Paste that URL into the field on the right and click Fetch.

What this app does

  • Fetches records from your API URL in batches of 500 up to ~200,000.
  • Overview shows charts (counts by month, classs, providers, basis of record, species) + extra insights (species richness, classs per month). Toggle the data tables behind each chart.
  • Birds of Conservation Concern (BoCC) Analysis matches results to the BoCC reference with three easy tables (Red/Amber/Former breeding) and a classs breakdown.
  • BoCC Reference displays the full reference list..
  • Map plots clustered points (Leaflet + OSM).
  • We've left an example link in the search box so you can check out how results appear.
