How this service works
Search species by common or scientific name; returns accepted species with taxonomy and common name.
Output
Returns a list of accepted species matching the query, each with taxon key, canonical name, scientific name, common name, and taxonomic ranks (kingdom, class, family). Also includes total match count, source attribution, and a summary string.
Example use cases
Identify species from common name
“I know the animal as a 'jaguar' but I need its official scientific name and full taxonomy — can you search the biodiversity species database and tell me its kingdom, class, and family?”
Verify species name for research paper
“I'm writing a report on the blue morpho butterfly — can you look up its accepted scientific name and taxonomic classification so I make sure I'm using the correct nomenclature?”
Build species list for wildlife app
“I'm building a nature app and need taxonomy details for the species 'gray wolf' — search the biodiversity API and return up to 10 matched species with their canonical and scientific names.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://biodiversity.x402tookit.com/species-search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a common or partial species name into its accepted taxonomic record, including kingdom, class, and family. Prefer this over the name-resolution endpoint when you want to discover multiple candidate matches rather than resolve a single known name. Use before fetching a full species profile when you don't yet have a confirmed taxon key.
Side effects
- No species found for highly ambiguous or misspelled queries — returns empty results array
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–15) may return validation error
- Degraded mode flag set to true if upstream GBIF data source is partially unavailable
- Very common words or abbreviations may return unrelated organisms
