IUCN Red List API

DEPRECATION NOTICE

Wednesday 26th February 2025

Dear API Users,

The v3 API has reached end of life and will be deprecated shortly after the 2025-1 Red List update on the 27th March 2025. The last update to the underlying data for the v3 API is therefore the current (as of writing) Red List version, which is 2024-2.

We will be disabling the endpoints on or shortly after the 27th March 2025. We therefore strongly recommend that all users now use the v4 API which can be accessed here.

Please note that no v3 API accounts will be migrated over to the v4 API so you will need to sign up for a new account to begin using this service.

Thank you,

The Red List Conservation Informatics Team

 

The IUCN Red List version is 2024-2.
