example

If you'd like to see more that the samples below, please see test/ and example/ directories.

``javascript
var consoleDiv = document.getElementById('console');

// lookup some species by some string 'sea otter'
var closeMatchCallback = function(closeMatches) {
closeMatches.forEach(function(closeMatch){
// log scientific names of matches
console.log(closeMatch.scientificName);
var p = document.createElement('p');
p.innerHTML = 'close match for sea otter [' + closeMatch.scientificName + ']';
consoleDiv.appendChild(p);
});
};
globiData.findCloseTaxonMatches('sea otter', closeMatchCallback);

// find out what a sea otter (Enhydra lutris) eats. . .
var search = {sourceTaxonScientificName: 'Enhydra lutris', interactionType: 'preysOn'};
var callback = function(interactions) {
interactions.forEach(function(interaction) {
var p = document.createElement('p');
p.innerHTML = '[' + interaction.source.name + '] preys on [' + interaction.target.name + ']';
consoleDiv.appendChild(p);
});
};
globiData.findSpeciesInteractions(search, callback);

// lookup some more info (including image urls) about the sea otter
var infoCallback = function(taxonInfo) {
var name = taxonInfo.commonName + ' (' + taxonInfo.scientificName + ')';
var infoDiv = document.createElement('div');
infoDiv.innerHTML = '

'
+ '

' + name + '

';
consoleDiv.appendChild(infoDiv);
};
globiData.findTaxonInfo('Enhydra lutris', infoCallback);
