How this service works
244 pay-per-call data APIs for AI agents: official statistics and economy (ECB, Fed, Eurostat, World Bank, SEC, BOE, INE), crypto prices and sentiment, Spanish public data, compliance (sanctions, VAT, IBAN, LEI), science, weather, web and developer tools and local AI text tools. Pay in USDC via x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the canonical and full scientific name (including author and year), complete 7-level taxonomy (kingdom through species), an array of common names with language codes, the GBIF taxonomic status (e.g. ACCEPTED), geographic range level, number of global observation records, top countries by record count, and a direct link to the GBIF species page.
Example use cases
Wildlife app species card
“Pull up all the taxonomic details and common names for 'Panthera leo' so I can build a species card — I need kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, and any recorded observations from GBIF.”
Conservation report species lookup
“I'm writing a report on the Iberian Lynx — can you get me its GBIF page link, accepted scientific name, observation record count, and which countries have the most sightings?”
Botany research classification check
“What's the full scientific classification and canonical name for 'Quercus robur'? I need to verify it's an accepted species in GBIF and see what common names it goes by.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/v1/species-info?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative taxonomic classification data (kingdom through species) and observation statistics from GBIF for any plant, animal, fungus, or other organism by common or scientific name. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable biodiversity data including taxonomy hierarchy, accepted scientific name, common name variants, and geographic observation counts.
Side effects
- Species name not found in GBIF — returns null or empty result
- Ambiguous name matches multiple taxa — may return one arbitrarily or none
- Synonyms or deprecated names may not resolve to accepted status
- Misspelled input name yields no match
- Rare or newly described species may have zero observation records
