API Reference overview
This machine learning based plant identification API is documented on Github.com/Plant-id; there are four important endpoints:
- api.plant.id/v2/identify – sends plant photos to our backend and returns the plant suggestions
- api.plant.id/v2/enqueue_identification – sends plant photos to our backend, queues the request and returns its ID
- api.plant.id/v2/get_identification_result/ID – checks if identification has been already processed and eventually returns the result
- api.plant.id/v2/usage_info – returns statistics about API limits and usage (how many prepaid identifications are left)
- scientific name of the plant in Latin
- probability – certainty level of the identification
- representative images of the suggested taxon (check Adaptive representative image in FAQ)
- common names – depends on the specified language, not always present
- url – link to a webpage with detailed information, usually Wikipedia
- taxonomy – taxonomic classification of the plant (if available)
- description – description of the plant from Wikipedia (if available)
Example code in Python
Naive implementation is available on Github. All requests require an access key, you are welcome to ask for a trial.
API for (human) expert based plant identification
We also offer (a different) API for identifications made by human experts. Basically, the FlowerChecker’s backend can be accessed with the API. The identification takes up to 24 hours and the price is 0.6 USD per request. If you are interested, drop us an email on business@flowerchecker.com
