# BioPulse Species Profile API

> BioPulse Species Profile API is a paid API for AI agents from biopulse-nine.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.12/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a full biological species profile including taxonomy, geographic range, IUCN conservation status, behavior, and conservation details

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://biopulse-nine.vercel.app/api/bio/species
- Price: $0.12/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402

- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_hJn5HlB5Ph1YEIReLE0Ob

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 biopulse-species-profile-api-4d585c20
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full species profile for the snow leopard — I want its taxonomy, IUCN conservation status, natural range, and behavioral traits?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, structured species profile covering taxonomy, range, IUCN status, and behavior in a single call — ideal when multiple biological dimensions are needed at once rather than querying separate specialized databases for each attribute.

## Known failure modes

- Species not found in database — returns 404 or empty result
- Ambiguous common name with multiple species — may return wrong species or error
- Misspelled scientific name — lookup fails
- Payment not processed correctly via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429
- Service unavailable on Vercel deployment — returns 503

## How this service works

Full species profile for naturalist and conservation agents. Returns taxonomy, range, IUCN status, behavior, and conservation detail from GBIF and IUCN.

## Output

A comprehensive species profile including taxonomic hierarchy (kingdom through species), geographic range description, IUCN Red List conservation status, behavioral characteristics, and conservation context for the requested species.
