Users want to find all specimens collected by a given collector, across time. A nice first step would be to grab all content from the dwc:recordedBy field for all occurrence records.

The top endpoint in the API can help with this:

http://beta-search.idigbio.org/v2/summary/top/records?top_fields=[%22collector%22]&count=100

but it is capped at I think 10k results for performance reasons. It does allow for an rq though so you could look for top collectors of a specific genus and hope they number less than 10k.

Having an endpoint that does not have a max limit is something we've talked about.
