The Plants Data API is a comprehensive database of plant information that offers a wealth of data for developers and researchers to integrate into their projects or studies. One of the primary features of this API is its ability to search for plant information by either common or scientific name. Each plant entry in the API is listed with a variety of properties, including genus, species, family, growth habit, duration, and growth rate, providing a comprehensive understanding of each plant.
In addition to these general plant properties, the Plants Data API also provides a wealth of detailed information for each entry. Some of the most important properties included in the API for each plant entry are mature height, foliage texture, flower color, fruit color, toxicity, drought tolerance, shade tolerance, temperature minimum, and lumber product availability. This information can be used to help identify plants and to inform decisions about their suitability for specific environments or purposes.
With its easy-to-use interface, the Plants Data API is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about the world of plants. Whether you're a researcher studying plant biology, a developer building a gardening app, or simply a nature enthusiast looking to learn more about the flora around you, this API offers a rich and diverse collection of information to explore.
It will receive a parameter and provide you with a JSON.
Gardening apps and websites can use the API to provide users with detailed information about plants, including their growth habits, optimal growing conditions, and potential uses.
Landscaping companies can use the API to identify and recommend plants that are best suited for a particular environment or project.
Educational institutions can use the API to teach students about plant biology and taxonomy and to provide examples of common and scientific plant names.
Botanical gardens and arboretums can use the API to create interactive exhibits that showcase the diversity of plant life.
Researchers studying plant biology can use the API to collect and analyze data on plant species and characteristics.
Conservation organizations can use the API to identify endangered or threatened plant species and to develop conservation strategies.
Agricultural companies can use the API to identify crops that are best suited for a particular climate or soil type.
Herbal medicine practitioners can use the API to identify plants with specific medicinal properties and to learn more about their traditional uses.
Environmental groups can use the API to assess the impact of climate change on plant species and to develop strategies for mitigating its effects.
Nature enthusiasts can use the API to identify plants in their local environment, learn more about their characteristics, and appreciate their beauty.

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]

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.
