We need an IUCN API key #78

Closed timlinux closed 6 years ago

timlinux commented 6 years ago

I have made an application here:

http://apiv3.iucnredlist.org/api/v3/token

We will use the key to (e.g. nightly) resolve which species listed in our database are red databook species.

Note there are interesting capabilities with the IUCN API for mapping:

Note there are OGC web services available too...

And for looking up species status:

http://apiv3.iucnredlist.org/api/v3/species/?token=

Assuming we have a correct name it will resolve to a JSON document like this;

http://apiv3.iucnredlist.org/api/v3/species/loxodonta%20africana?token=9bb4facb6d23f48efbf424bb05c0c1ef1cf6f468393bc745d42179ac4aca5fee
