How this service works
Resolve a species name (typos, old synonyms) to its accepted scientific name and full taxonomy, with match confidence.
Output
Returns the accepted scientific name, accepted canonical name, matched name, full taxonomy (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species), taxon key, match type, match confidence score (0-1), whether the input was a synonym, GBIF source URL, and a human-readable summary and verdict. Also includes degraded-mode and disclaimer flags if data quality is limited.
Example use cases
Fixing typo in field observation
“I recorded 'Pantherra leo' in my field notes — can you resolve that to the correct accepted scientific name and tell me the full taxonomy so I can clean up my dataset?”
Checking if a name is outdated
“Is 'Felis concolor' still the accepted scientific name for the mountain lion, or has it been replaced by a newer name? Give me the current accepted name and taxonomy.”
Normalizing species names from literature
“I found 'Ursus horribilis' in an old research paper — can you resolve that to its accepted scientific name today and let me know if it's a synonym, along with the confidence level?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://biodiversity.x402tookit.com/species-match?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to canonicalize or validate a species name before downstream processing — especially when dealing with user-entered names, historical literature, or field data that may contain typos or outdated synonyms. Prefer this over general search when you have a specific name to resolve and need a confidence score and synonym flag. It is the right first step before looking up IUCN status, occurrence records, or building a species profile.
Side effects
- Name not found in GBIF backbone — returns low confidence or null accepted name
- Highly ambiguous name matches multiple taxa — returns best match but low confidence
- Network timeout or upstream GBIF API unavailability — degraded flag set to true
- Completely unrecognizable input string — returns null matchedName and no taxonomy
- Missing required 'name' query parameter — request rejected with validation error
