Linking to ARKive

We are always pleased for other websites to link to the information and resources on the ARKive website, and there are a number of ways to do so described below.

For administrators of large database-driven sites we also offer a number of XML feeds that are available for data-harvesting and an API service to enable deep linking to ARKive species pages or media. Please read the API user guide or email arkiveapi@wildscreen.org.uk for more information.

Linking to a species page

ARKive species - Barbour's forest tree frog

To link to a specific species page in ARKive, find the page you are interested in, then look for the "Link to this photo/video" option in the left hand menu. This gives instructions on how to easily create a graphic link to that specific page.
Alternatively, you can use the ARKive API portlet method.

Linking to the homepage

Text links to http://www.arkive.org/ will always take you to the homepage of the main ARKive website.

It may be more informative to accompany your link with a short description of the ARKive project a suggestion is shown below.

ARKive - a unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world's species.

You could also have an ARKive logo link on your site by using the following code snippet to embed the linked logo into your web page. You may substitute the logo for one of the three alternative options detailed below.

The previous two logo options use transparent backgrounds so that they blend with the background of your website. This feature is supported by newer browsers such as Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Safari and Opera, but may appear with a plain grey background for users of older browsers. The following two logo options do not use transparent backgrounds, making them more compatible with older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6.
