The Animals Data API will provide users with information about animals. This API can be used by researchers, educators, or anyone with an interest in animals to access information about a wide range of species.
The data provided by an Animals Data API include information about the behavior, habits, and characteristics of different animals. It includes details about an animal's diet, habitat, physical characteristics, and other features.
Users of the Animals Data API are able to search and retrieve specific information about animals, simply by entering the animal name in a required parameter.
It will receive a parameter and provide you with a JSON.
Research: Scientists and researchers can use the API to access data about animal behavior, habitats, and characteristics for use in their studies.
Education: Educators can use the API to retrieve information about animals to use in lesson plans or educational materials.
Animal identification: The API can be used to identify animals based on their physical characteristics or other features.
Animal classification: The API can be used to classify animals based on their characteristics and behaviors.
Animal behavior studies: Researchers can use the API to study the behavior of animals in different environments or situations.
Animal entertainment: The API can be used to provide information about animals for use in interactive exhibits, games, or other forms of entertainment.
Basic Plan: 5,000 API Calls.
Pro Plan: 25,000 API Calls.
Pro Plus Plan: 100,000 API Calls.
Elite Plan: 300,000 API Calls.
The Get Animals Data endpoint of the Animals Data API allows you to retrieve data about a specific animal based on its name. This endpoint requires a required parameter called "name", which specifies the name of the animal from that you want to retrieve data.
It can return up to 10 or more results corresponding to the "name" parameter.
Required Parameter: name // This parameter allows partial matches. Example: shark will match with Blue Shark and Grey Reef Shark, etc.

Zyla API Hub is, in other words, an API MarketPlace. An all-in-one solution for your developing needs. You will be accessing our extended list of APIs with only your user. Also, you won't need to worry about storing API keys, only one API key for all our products is needed.
Prices are listed in USD. We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble with paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Sometimes depending on the bank's fraud protection settings, a bank will decline the validation charge we make when we attempt to be sure a card is valid. We recommend first contacting your bank to see if they are blocking our charges. If more help is needed, please contact [email protected] and our team will investigate further
Prices are based on a recurring monthly subscription depending on the plan selected — plus overage fees applied when a developer exceeds a plan’s quota limits. In this example, you'll see the base plan amount as well as a quota limit of API requests. Be sure to notice the overage fee because you will be charged for each additional request.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
Just go to the pricing page of that API and select the plan that you want to upgrade to. You will only be charged the full amount of that plan, but you will be enjoying the features that the plan offers right away.
