NZOR Web API provides a publicly accessible service that enables applications to use data from the core NZOR repository, allowing users to list and view details about an organism's name, search organism names, and access information providers, enumerations, and vocabulary used in NZOR. The NZOR web application programming interface (API) is hosted by Landcare Research and is designed to drive innovation in the management of terrestrial biodiversity and land resources. To support this goal, Landcare Research organized a hackathon called Nature Hack 2015, which provided developers with SDKs for the NZOR API in various programming languages, enabling them to build web services and applications related to nature using environmental data from Landcare Research.
