artsdatabanken/ai

Artsorakel Backend is a Node.js API that provides AI-powered species identification by accepting image uploads, sending them to the Naturalis AI API, and enriching results with taxonomic data including vernacular names and conservation status. It automatically selects the appropriate identification model based on user location (Norwegian, Swedish, or European) and includes features like rate limiting, API token authentication, and encrypted temporary image storage. This project is designed for developers building biodiversity applications or citizen science platforms that need reliable species identification functionality with taxonomic enrichment.
