# Species and Biodiversity – Full Species Profile

> Species and Biodiversity – Full Species Profile is a paid API for AI agents from biodiversity.x402tookit.com, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns a comprehensive species profile in one call: accepted name, full taxonomy, common name, IUCN conservation status, total observation records, and top countries where recorded.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability species-and-biodiversity-full-species-profile-479a4631
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full species profile for Panthera tigris — I need its accepted name, taxonomy, common name, IUCN status, and the top countries where it's been recorded?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call comprehensive species summary rather than making separate requests for taxonomy, conservation status, and occurrence data. It is ideal for enriching databases, powering biodiversity dashboards, or answering natural language questions about a species when you want accepted name + IUCN + records + geography in one response. Prefer it over sibling endpoints (name resolver, country distribution, IUCN decoder) when breadth matters more than depth on any single dimension.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or misspelled scientific name returns null/degraded results with degraded:true
- Ambiguous name with multiple matches may return the most accepted match with caveats
- Species with no GBIF records returns totalRecords:0 and empty topCountries
- IUCN status not assessed returns conservation.assessed:false
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402/429

## How this service works

Species profile in one call: accepted name, taxonomy, common name, IUCN status, record count and top countries where recorded.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the accepted canonical scientific name, full Linnaean taxonomy (kingdom through species), common name, IUCN Red List conservation object (code, label, meaning, threatened flag, assessed flag), total GBIF observation record count, an array of top countries with per-country record counts, the GBIF taxon key, source URL, attribution, and optional summary/disclaimer fields.
