The nameparser tool at GBIF.org links to the API documentation, but not this repository (and it can be a bit confusing with the https://github.com/gbif/checklistbank repo).

On the about page, I would add:

This online tool allows to divide scientific names into their components and to check them against the taxonomic backbone used by GBIF. It can be used to automate some processes while digitizing or curating lists of scientific names.
