Plant Identification π±
Send us your plant images encoded in base64, and get a list of possible species suggestions with additional information.
import base64
import requests
# encode images to base64
with open("unknown_plant.jpg", "rb") as file:
images = [base64.b64encode(file.read()).decode("ascii")]
response = requests.post(
"https://api.plant.id/v2/identify",
json={
"images": images,
"modifiers": ["similar_images"],
"plant_details": ["common_names", "url"],
},
headers={
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Api-Key": "-- ask for one: https://web.plant.id/api-access-request/ --",
}).json()
for suggestion in response["suggestions"]:
print(suggestion["plant_name"]) # Taraxacum officinale
print(suggestion["plant_details"]["common_names"]) # ["Dandelion"]
print(suggestion["plant_details"]["url"]) # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taraxacum_officinaleResponse example: response_species_identification.json.
Health Assessment π₯
Send us your ill plant photos encoded in base64, and get a list of possible health issues your plant suffers from.
import base64
import requests
# encode images to base64
with open("ill_plant.jpg", "rb") as file:
images = [base64.b64encode(file.read()).decode("ascii")]
response = requests.post(
"https://api.plant.id/v2/health_assessment",
json={
"images": images,
"modifiers": ["similar_images"],
"disease_details": ["description", "treatment"],
},
headers={
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Api-Key": "-- ask for one: https://web.plant.id/api-access-request/ --",
}).json()
if not response["health_assessment"]["is_healthy"]:
for suggestion in response["health_assessment"]["diseases"]:
print(suggestion["name"]) # water deficiency
print(suggestion["disease_details"]["description"]) # Water deficiency is...Response example: response_health_assessment.json.
