Description: The ?limit parameter is inadequately documented in the API.

All calls that impose a ceiling on limit should document what the ceiling is.

For example, the following has a ceiling of 1000, which is shown in the result but undocumented.  http://api.gbif.org/v1/species/search?q=a&limit=1010]]>
