FAQ

Questions Xeno-canto owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I find recordings of a specific bird species?

    Use the search_recordings capability with the species name or scientific name (e.g., 'Common Blackbird' or 'Turdus merula'). You can combine this with other filters like country or quality.

  • 02

    Can I filter results by recording quality or location?

    Yes! The search_recordings capability supports Xeno-canto syntax. Use cnt:france for location or q:A for the highest quality recordings within your query string.

  • 03

    Is there a limit to the number of results I can retrieve?

    The search_recordings capability returns results in pages. You can use the page parameter to navigate through the database, with each page containing up to 500 recordings.
