The KBFC database provides access to standardized PIT tag data submitted by tribal, state, federal and non-governmental organizations. Membership to KBFC is required to submit and access data, as well as agreement to the Data Sharing Agreement.
To facilitate the exchange of data between the KBFC Database and the data managers who submit these data, a Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API) is maintained. The links below provide access to the policies, data and metadata standards, and the KBFC Database API.
