# ADH Biodiversity Intelligence Layer — Biodiversity Taxa Lookup

> ADH Biodiversity Intelligence Layer — Biodiversity Taxa Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from agentdatum.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status down (last checked 2026-10-12).

Retrieves cleaned and entity-resolved biodiversity taxonomy data (taxa names, ranks, lineage, synonyms) from PlutoF/Catalogue of Life via ADH's aggregated intelligence layer, payable via x402.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability adh-biodiversity-intelligence-layer-biodiversity-taxa-lookup-a091c1bb
```

Example prompt: Pull biodiversity taxonomy data from ADH's intelligence layer — I want to see taxon names, ranks, lineage, and synonyms for the Plantae kingdom, including vernacular names and provenance info.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need cleaned, provenance-tagged biodiversity taxonomy data (taxa names, ranks, lineage, synonyms, vernacular names) via a simple x402 micropayment, without managing your own PlutoF or Catalogue of Life API credentials. Prefer it over direct PlutoF API calls when you want ADH's entity resolution, time-synchronization metadata, and source attribution baked in. Not suited for real-time species occurrence data, image recognition, or financial market intelligence.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or x402 settlement failure — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required
- Upstream PlutoF API unavailable — may return error or stale data
- Empty result set if no taxa match query parameters
- Pagination out of range — returns empty data array
- Malformed request structure — returns 400 or schema validation error

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing an array of taxon records (id, type, name, rank, col_id, mycobank_id, epithet_author, vernacular names, lineage, synonyms, valid name reference), pagination metadata (page, count, total pages), links for navigation, collection timestamp, data source label ('生物多样性'), and a success flag. Data is sourced from PlutoF public taxa API and wrapped with ADH provenance metadata.
