Is it possible to get the thumbnail image that appears in searches as a return from the API? This is helpful for sorting out CT scans from the pictures that sometimes get uploaded along with the scans.

@JulieWinchester we are rebuilding the MorphoSourceImport module with the new API and the python package @johnbradley put together (https://github.com/Imageomics/pyMorphoSource)

However, we need to be able to filter list of media by higher taxonomy (e.g., Primates, Mammalia etc), otherwise it is very hard to know what to search for (taxonomy at media seems limited to binomial species names only). We discussed a few solution here. I wonder if you have suggestions, or possible to implement this inthe API?

The Search Media API endpoint (/api/media) has a Taxonomy (GBIF) (f.taxonomy_gbif) query parameter.
Currently this parameter only works when a user queries with a single word and is case sensitive.
It would be helpful for this parameter to allow multiple words and be case insensitive.

Examples

The following examples use curl and jq.

If a user searches for "Pan troglodytes" no items are returned:

curl --silent --request GET \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --url 'https://www.morphosource.org/api/media?f.taxonomy_gbif=Pan+troglodytes' \
  | jq '.response .pages .total_count'
0

If a user searches for "Pan" 4484 items are returned:

curl --silent --request GET \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --url 'https://www.morphosource.org/api/media?f.taxonomy_gbif=Pan' \
  | jq '.response .pages .total_count'
4484

If a user searches for "troglodytes" 4455 items are returned:

curl --silent --request GET \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --url 'https://www.morphosource.org/api/media?f.taxonomy_gbif=troglodytes' \
  | jq '.response .pages .total_count'
4455

If a user searches for "pan" 0 items are returned:

curl --silent --request GET \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --url 'https://www.morphosource.org/api/media?f.taxonomy_gbif=pan' \
  | jq '.response .pages .total_count'
0

Is it possible to return the "File Object Details" with the API? In particular, file size is very important prior to download.
