How this service works
Species Lookup: taxonomy, common names, IUCN status, range (GBIF). Species lookup by scientific or common name (GBIF): accepted name, full taxonomy, common names, IUCN Red List status, occurrence record count and top countries.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'found' boolean, the accepted scientific name, full taxonomic hierarchy (kingdom through species), common names in multiple languages, IUCN Red List status (e.g. Vulnerable, Endangered), total GBIF occurrence record count, and the top countries by occurrence records.
Example use cases
Conservation status check for wildlife report
“I'm writing a report on big cats — can you look up the IUCN Red List status and full taxonomy for Panthera uncia, the snow leopard?”
Common name to scientific name resolution
“I keep seeing 'blue-ringed octopus' mentioned — can you find its accepted scientific name, full taxonomy, and where it's most commonly recorded?”
Biodiversity occurrence data for a plant species
“Can you pull up the taxonomy, conservation status, and occurrence record count for Rafflesia arnoldii, including the top countries where it's been recorded?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/species/lookup?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative species taxonomy, conservation status, and geographic occurrence data in a single call. It is ideal for biodiversity research, conservation workflows, citizen science apps, and educational tools. Prefer it over generic web search when you need structured, machine-readable taxonomic and IUCN data directly tied to GBIF identifiers.
Side effects
- Species not found in GBIF returns found: false with no taxonomy data
- Ambiguous common name may match multiple taxa — only the top GBIF match is returned
- Misspelled scientific names may fail to match any record
- Very rare or newly described species may have zero occurrence records
- GBIF or IUCN upstream API downtime can cause empty or partial responses
