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.

Each endpoint returns JSON data. The "GET All Categories" endpoint provides a list of plant categories, while "GET Plant Information by Category" returns detailed plant entries, including common names, family, and climate. The "GET Plant by ID" endpoint offers specific details about a plant, such as its growth habits, light requirements, and potential uses.
Key fields include "Common name," "Latin name," "Family," "Categories," "Img" (image URL), "Height," "Width," and "Light tolered." These fields provide essential information for identifying and understanding plant characteristics.
The response data is structured as an array of objects. Each object represents a plant or category, containing key-value pairs for various attributes. For example, a plant entry includes fields like "Latin name," "Family," and "Img," making it easy to access specific information.
The "GET All Categories" endpoint lists plant categories. The "GET Plant Information by Category" provides details like common names, family, and climate. The "GET Plant by ID" offers in-depth information, including growth habits, light requirements, and potential uses.
The "GET Plant Information by Category" endpoint requires a category parameter, which can be obtained from the "GET All Categories" endpoint. The "GET Plant by ID" endpoint requires a specific plant ID, which can be retrieved from the previous endpoint.
Users can utilize the returned data by accessing specific fields relevant to their needs. For instance, gardening apps can display plant images and care instructions, while researchers can analyze growth habits and environmental preferences based on the detailed attributes provided.
The data is compiled from various botanical and horticultural sources, ensuring a diverse and comprehensive database of plant information. This includes scientific literature, plant databases, and expert contributions to maintain accuracy and relevance.
If an endpoint returns partial or empty results, users should check the parameters used for accuracy. For example, ensure the category or ID is correct. Implementing error handling in applications can also provide user-friendly messages when no data is found.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). 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 paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
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.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.
The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
