How this service works
Marine species lookup in WoRMS - accepted name and status, authority, full classification, habitat flags, common names in many languages and other matches
Output
Returns a JSON object with the interpreted query, number of matches, and a primary record containing: accepted scientific name, taxonomic status (accepted/synonym/etc.), authority and year, full classification (kingdom through genus), AphiaID, LSID, canonical URL, habitat flags (e.g. marine, brackish, freshwater), extinction status, and an array of common names across multiple languages. May also include additional matching records when the query is ambiguous.
Example use cases
Verify marine species name validity
“I have a species name 'Delphinus delphis' — can you check WoRMS to confirm whether it's the accepted scientific name or a synonym, and give me the full taxonomy?”
Identify species from partial name
“I only know the genus 'Tursiops' — can you search WoRMS and tell me what species come up, with their accepted names and classification?”
Multilingual common names for a species
“What are the common names in different languages for 'Octopus vulgaris' according to the World Register of Marine Species?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/marine/worms?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative taxonomic data for marine organisms specifically — including accepted names, synonymy resolution, full Linnaean classification, habitat flags, and multilingual common names sourced directly from WoRMS. Prefer this over general biodiversity APIs when the subject is definitively marine and you need AphiaID or LSID identifiers, or when validating whether a name is currently accepted or a junior synonym.
Side effects
- Species name not found in WoRMS returns zero matches or empty primary record
- Ambiguous name fragment returns multiple matches requiring disambiguation
- Misspelled or truncated input may return unrelated species
- Extinct or very recently described species may have incomplete records
- Rate limiting or upstream WoRMS API unavailability may cause errors
