FinBIF Laji API (Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility)

The largest contract the University of Helsinki operates: 177 paths and 239 component schemas over Finnish species, taxonomy, occurrence records, collections, image bank and data requests. Operated by Luomus, the Finnish Museum of Natural History, which is an institute of the University — the FinBIF privacy policy names "University of Helsinki, Finnish Museum of Natural History" (Business ID 0313471-7) as the registrar. It is also the only surface in the estate with a genuinely self-service credential: POST an email address to /api-user and an access token is mailed back, no institutional affiliation required.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of FinBIF Laji API (Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility), published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
