About Open API

The open API of the Korean Natural History Research Information System (NARIS) enables individuals or organizations to freely use a search service for information on biological resources provided by the Korean Biodiversity Consortium in Korea, providing high-quality biodiversity information.

What is an Open API?
  • Open API is a Web2.0 technology that technically realizes the characteristics of the “web” as a platform. The programming interface that allows a website to make its functionality available to the public is called an Open API.
What is an authentication key?
  • You need an authentication key to use the Open API service of the Korean Natural History Research Information System.
  • If the authentication key is incorrect, you will be unable to use the service.
  • If you need to obtain a new authentication key due to an invalid or lost authentication key, please contact the administrator.
