GBIF API - Multiple equal matches for Apidae

Hello,

I was trying to use the searching API search/match with this query

https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match/?name=Apidae

the problem is that I get this response:
{“confidence”:100,“note”:“Multiple equal matches for Apidae”,“matchType”:“NONE”,“synonym”:false}

How can I access the multiple matches? Or is there a way to limit the search to one match?

Hi - for more detail, add “verbose=true”:

https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match/?verbose=true&name=Apidae

For more detail on the options and parameters, also see here

Thank you, it worked!
