How this service works
Decode an IUCN Red List code (EX, EW, CR, EN, VU, NT, LC, DD, NE) into its category, meaning and threatened flag.
Output
Returns the IUCN code, its full category label (e.g. 'Endangered'), a plain-language meaning, a summary and verdict, a numeric risk rank, a boolean threatened flag, a degraded flag, the source and date (asOf), and any disclaimers or unchecked conditions.
Example use cases
Conservation status check for a species
“I'm looking at a species record and it shows an IUCN code of EN — can you tell me what that means, whether it's threatened, and give me a plain-language summary of that status?”
Education tool for wildlife report
“We're writing a biodiversity report and need a clear explanation of what VU means on the IUCN Red List, including whether it counts as threatened and its risk ranking.”
Filter threatened species in a dataset
“I have a list of species with IUCN codes and I want to know if LC qualifies as threatened so I can decide whether to include those species in my at-risk analysis.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://biodiversity.x402tookit.com/iucn-code?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you have an IUCN Red List abbreviation or category name and need to decode it into structured, human-readable conservation metadata — including whether it legally or ecologically qualifies as 'threatened'. Ideal for enriching species datasets, powering conservation dashboards, or validating status codes in automated pipelines.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized IUCN code returns null fields or an error
- Missing required 'code' query parameter results in a validation error
- Misspelled category name may not resolve correctly
- DD and NE codes may return limited meaning data as they are not formally assessed
