Web Service Search APIs  Search for Any Match Description Returns matches found by comparing the search key to the ITIS common names, scientific names, and TSNs. Input A string containing the search key. Output A set of strings containing the type of match, the resulting matches (scientific name and common names) and the corresponding TSNs. Common names will be a set (zero to many) of strings containing the name and its language. If there are no matches, an empty result set will be returned. Example http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/searchForAnyMatch?srchKey=dolphin (by text) http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/searchForAnyMatch?srchKey=202385 (by TSN)  Search by Common Name Description Returns matches found by comparing the search key to the ITIS common names. Input A string containing the search key. Note: In this function a record will match if the common name contains the search key. So, searching for bear would return entries like bear lake, bearded, beardfish, bearer, woolybear, etc. as well as names like brown bear, grizzly bear, black bear, etc. Output A set of strings containing the resulting matches and their corresponding Scientific name, TSN, and language. If there are no matches, an empty result set will be returned. Example http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/searchByCommonName?srchKey=ferret-badger http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/searchByCommonName?srchKey=american bullfrog  Search by Common Name Begins With Description Return matches found by comparing the search key to the beginning of the ITIS common names. Input A string containing the search key. Note: In this function a record will match if the common name starts with the search key. So, searching for bear would return entries that start with bear, like bear lake, bearded barbet, beardfish, but not barred livebearer, woollybear, black bear, etc. Output A set of strings containing the resulting matches and their corresponding Scientific name, TSN, and language. If there are no matches, an empty result set will be returned. Example http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/searchByCommonNameBeginsWith?srchKey=inch  Search by Common Name Ends With Description Return matches found by comparing the search key to the end of the ITIS common names.

So, searching for bear would return entries that end with bear, like Asian Black Bear, grizzly bear, brown bear, banded woollybear, but not bear lake, bearded barbet, beardfish, barred livebearer, etc. Output A set of strings containing the resulting matches and their corresponding Scientific name, TSN, and language. If there are no matches, an empty result set will be returned. Example http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/searchByCommonNameEndsWith?srchKey=grizzly%20bear  Search by Scientific Name Description Returns matches found by comparing the search key to the ITIS full Scientific Names, both with and without the indicator fields. Input A string containing the search key. This may contain only the individual name parts or a mixture of the name and indicator parts as contained in the ITIS database. Note: In this function a record will match if the scientific name contains the search key. So, searching for ursus would return entries like Pheidole ursus, Pseudotropheus pursus, Ursus Linnaeus, Ursus americanus Pallas, Ammopursus ohlingerae, Senecio aureus var. intercursus, etc. Output A set of strings containing the resulting matches and their corresponding TSN, or an empty result set if there are no matches.

Input A string containing the name to match. Output A set of data structures containing the scientific name, a list of common names and the usage information, or an empty set if there is no match. Example http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/getITISTerms?srchKey=bear  Get ITIS Terms from Common Name Description Gets a list of ITIS Terms as used by the Resource Catalog Input Tool from a common name match, or an empty result set if there is no match. Input A string containing the name to match. Output A set of data structures containing the scientific name, a list of common names and the usage information, or an empty set if there is no match. Example http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/getITISTermsFromCommonName?srchKey=buya Get ITIS Terms from Scientific Name Description Gets a list ITIS Terms as used by the Resource Catalog Input Tool from a scientific name match, or an empty result set if there is no match. Input A string containing the name to match. Output A set of data structures containing the scientific name, a list of common names and the usage information, or an empty set if there is no match. Example http://www.itis.gov/ITISWebService/services/ITISService/getITISTermsFromScientificName?srchKey=ursidae Get TSNs By Vernacular Language Description Provide a listing of TSNs with vernaculars entered in the requested language. Currently language is only specified in the ITIS database for vernaculars. Input A string containing the language. This is a language string, not the international language code. Currently supported strings can be obtained from the Get Vernacular Languages API. Output A set of strings containing the matching TSNs, or an empty set if there is no match.
