How this service works
Resolve a scientific name to its accepted GBIF taxon with confidence, rank and full kingdom-to-genus classification. Keyless. Best for normalizing species names before analysis or display.
Output
Returns the accepted GBIF taxon corresponding to the submitted scientific name, including: the matched and accepted taxon names, GBIF usage key/taxon ID, taxonomic rank (e.g. SPECIES, GENUS), a confidence score (0–100), match type, and the full classification hierarchy from kingdom through genus (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus).
Example use cases
Normalize species names before analysis
“I have a list of species names from field surveys — can you resolve 'Quercus robur' to its accepted GBIF taxon name, confirm the rank and confidence, and give me the full taxonomic hierarchy from kingdom down to genus?”
Validate taxonomy for biodiversity database
“Before I load this record into our biodiversity database, can you check whether 'Ursus arctos horribilis' is an accepted GBIF name and return its classification with a confidence score so I know if it needs to be updated?”
Build taxonomic display for species profile page
“I'm building a species profile page for 'Homo sapiens' — can you look it up in GBIF and return the full kingdom-to-genus classification hierarchy so I can display it properly?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://proxy.suverse.io/v1/data/suverse-biodiversity-name-matchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to normalize, validate, or enrich species names against the authoritative GBIF backbone taxonomy — especially before biodiversity data analysis, database ingestion, or display. Prefer this over manual lookup when you need a machine-readable confidence score and full hierarchical classification in one keyless call. It is ideal for pipelines that receive species names from heterogeneous sources (field surveys, literature, user input) and need to standardize them to accepted nomenclature.
Side effects
- Unrecognized or misspelled scientific name returns a low-confidence or NONE match type with no accepted taxon
- Ambiguous name matching multiple taxa returns the highest-confidence candidate but may not be the intended taxon
- Network timeout or upstream GBIF API unavailability results in a 5xx error
- Malformed request body (missing required fields) returns a 400 validation error
- Names only recognized at higher taxonomic ranks (e.g. family level) may not resolve to species-level output
