# Vextorium Species Info (GBIF)

> Vextorium Species Info (GBIF) is a paid API for AI agents from api.vextorium.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Returns full taxonomic classification, accepted name, common names, observation record count, and top countries for any species queried by scientific or common name, sourced from GBIF.

## 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 vextorium-species-info-gbif-b0a3b889 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the full taxonomy for 'Panthera leo' — give me its kingdom through species, accepted scientific name, common names, and which countries have the most observation records?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative taxonomic classification and biodiversity occurrence statistics for any species, using either its scientific or common name, sourced directly from GBIF. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable taxonomy (kingdom through species), validated accepted names, or geographic observation data in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Species name not found in GBIF — returns null fields or empty result
- Ambiguous name matches multiple taxa — may return one accepted name or partial data
- Misspelled name returns no match
- Very rare or undescribed species may have zero occurrence records
- Common name lookup may resolve to unexpected taxon if name is shared across species

## How this service works

Species information by scientific or common name (GBIF): accepted name, full taxonomy (kingdom to species), rank, status, common names, number of occurrence records and countries with most records.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the canonical and scientific name, full taxonomy (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species), taxonomic rank and status, a list of common names, the total number of GBIF occurrence records, an array of top countries with their record counts, the data source label, and a GBIF link for further reference.
