The purpose of this portal is to facilitate the discoverability of public data on plant biology from a federation of established data repositories.
It is based on the [Breeding API (BrAPI)](https://brapi.org/) specifications and facilitates the access to genotype and phenotype datasets for crop and forest plants through an easy to use web interface.
It also provides a standard interface that can be accessed programatically through [web services](https://urgi.versailles.inra.fr/faidare/swagger-ui.html).

It is an extension of the generic [Data-Discovery portal](https://forgemia.inra.fr/urgi-is/data-discovery), a web portal that allows finding any type of data across several databases through a lightweight keyword based search.
FAIDARE offers more detailed search and data retrieval capabilities and it takes advantage of the growing adoption of the BrAPI.
