How to call it
A starting template for GBIF. Replace ENDPOINT with the path from the official documentation, which we link above rather than guess at.
# No authentication required.
curl -s "http://api.gbif.org/ENDPOINT" \
-H "Accept: application/json"This API does not send CORS headers, so a browser will block a direct call from your front end. Call it from your server, or put a small proxy in front of it.
Where this listing comes from

GBIF — common questions
Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.
Is GBIF free to use?
GBIF is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.
Does GBIF need an API key?
No. We called GBIF on 2026-09-18 with no key, no token and no Authorization header, and it responded. That is what puts it in our no-key collection.
Can I call GBIF from browser JavaScript?
Not directly. GBIF did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.
Is GBIF still working?
Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached GBIF and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 544 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.
Is GBIF available over HTTPS?
Yes. GBIF serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
