New API Version

Version 1.1 of the eBird API has now been released. Version 1.1 expands and enhances version 1.0 with much more data available and many new query possibilities.

New Terms of Use

All the eBird APIs now have a formal Terms of Use statement that describes acceptable usage for the APIs. Read the statement for details, but one of the new aspects of the eBird APIs is that reasonable use use is free and open for noncommercial purposes; commercial uses require written authorization. Web sites and developers interested in exploring commercial usage should contact Mary Guthrie, Director of Marketing for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, at msg21@cornell.edu

Previous Versions Deprecated

Along with this new version release, the versions of the APIs that we had previously released have been deprecated. Version 0.9 of the ebird API will be retired on January 1, 2010. Version 1.0 of the ebird API will be retired on July 1, 2010. While deprecated, the APIs will still function as before. At their retirement, the API will cease to respond to requests. We encourage current users of these APIs to begin planning to end their use of these APIs now.

    Hello,

     I'm trying to publish a web-map using your public web-service, but in working with Flash ActionScript 3, I'm having trouble with sandbox security violations.

     Can you provide a direct link to the crossdomain.xml (the cross domain policy file), so that I can load it directly?

     Thanks,

    Tom Auer
