How this service works
Search GBIF's global taxonomic backbone by free-text name to resolve species, get taxonomy and keys. Keyless. Foundation for biodiversity lookups, name resolution and occurrence joins.
Output
Returns a GBIF taxonomic match including the accepted scientific name, taxonomic rank, GBIF species/taxon key, kingdom/phylum/class/order/family/genus classification, synonym status, and match confidence — enabling downstream joins with occurrence and distribution datasets.
Example use cases
Resolve species name before occurrence query
“I have the name 'Quercus robur' — can you look it up in GBIF's taxonomic backbone and get me its species key and full taxonomy so I can pull occurrence records for it?”
Validate and clean a species list
“I have a list of species names from a field survey, starting with 'Larus argentatus' — can you check GBIF to see if this name is accepted or a synonym, and what taxonomic rank it sits at?”
Identify taxon from common name
“Can you search GBIF's taxonomic backbone for 'monarch butterfly' and return the accepted scientific name, genus, family, and GBIF taxon key for it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://proxy.suverse.io/v1/data/suverse-biodiversity-species-searchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to resolve free-text species or taxon names to authoritative GBIF backbone identifiers — especially before joining with GBIF occurrence datasets, validating field-collected species lists, or enriching biodiversity records with full taxonomic hierarchy. Prefer this over raw GBIF API calls when you want a keyless, pay-per-call proxy without managing GBIF credentials.
Side effects
- No match found for ambiguous or highly misspelled names — returns empty result or low-confidence fuzzy match
- Name resolves to multiple homonyms — returns the best-rank match which may not be the intended organism
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient — returns 402 error
- Timeout or upstream GBIF API unavailability — returns 5xx error
- Extremely new or undescribed species may not appear in the GBIF backbone yet
