Interaction data is made available through GloBI

https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/2023/11/03/dwca-resource-relations/

The interactions recorded in this project and many other can now be explored and used for research at https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org

Flower visitation and other interactions can also be visualized, for example:
https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/browse/?interactionType=ecologicallyRelatedTo&resultType=json&sourceTaxon=Xylocopa%20violacea

Global Biotic Interactions is an open service providing open data using open source software.

Enjoy!

Thank you, very interesting news! Could I filter by geographic region?

Yes, unfortunately it works only well through open source software like R.
There is a package called rglobi
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rglobi/rglobi.pdf
There is an example script:
get_interactions_by_taxa(sourcetaxon = "Rattus")
get_interactions_by_taxa(sourcetaxon = "Aves", targettaxon = "Rattus")
get_interactions_by_taxa(sourcetaxon = "Rattus rattus",
bbox = c(-67.87,12.79,-57.08,23.32))

The bbox is the rectangular area defined by the 2 pairs of coordinates. That should give you already a concise dataset. Finally, you could use GIS software (ex. QGIS) with layers for municipalities, protected areas, etc... to add this information for further filtering. I'm not an expert, but this seems the easiest option at this time.
