How this service works
Search iNaturalist's taxonomy by free text to resolve common or scientific names to taxa with rank, ancestry and photos. Keyless. Great for naturalist apps and species autocomplete.
Output
Returns structured taxon records from iNaturalist including taxon ID, scientific name, common name, taxonomic rank (e.g. species, genus, family), ancestry lineage, and associated photos.
Example use cases
Species autocomplete for naturalist app
“I'm building a species search feature — can you look up 'red fox' in the iNaturalist taxonomy and return its scientific name, rank, and ancestry so I can populate the autocomplete results?”
Resolve common plant name to taxon
“What is the scientific name and full taxonomic classification for the plant commonly called 'black-eyed Susan'? Pull it from the iNaturalist taxonomy database.”
Get taxon photo for field guide
“Search the iNaturalist taxonomy for 'great horned owl' and get me the taxon ID, rank, and a representative photo URL I can use in my field guide.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://proxy.suverse.io/v1/data/suverse-biodiversity-inat-taxaWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to resolve free-text species names (common or scientific) to structured iNaturalist taxa with rank, ancestry, and photos — particularly for naturalist apps, species autocomplete features, or biodiversity data pipelines. It is keyless and straightforward to call. Prefer it over direct iNaturalist API integration when you need a pay-per-call model without managing API keys.
Side effects
- No matching taxon found for the query text — returns empty results
- Ambiguous name matches multiple taxa — returns multiple candidates requiring disambiguation
- Misspelled or non-standard name yields no results
- iNaturalist upstream service unavailable — proxy returns an error
- Rate limits or payment failures return 402 or 5xx errors
