Steps a workflow can run in ITIS.

  • Search by common nameFind plants, animals and other organisms by a common name in any language ITIS records, matching names that contain, begin with or end with your words. Exact matches come first, each with the TSN to look the taxon up with. No API key required.
  • Search by scientific nameFind taxa whose scientific name contains your words, so a genus brings back every species and subspecies in it, each with its author, kingdom and TSN. No API key required.
  • Get taxonGet everything ITIS records about one taxon: its scientific name and author, rank and kingdom, whether the name is the accepted one and which to use if not, its parent, common names in every language, synonyms, and where in North America it occurs and whether it is native there. No API key required.
  • Get classificationGet a taxon's place in the tree of life: its kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species, every rank in between, and the taxa one rank below it, such as the species in a genus. No API key required.
