The software library taxa4bats contains taxonomic information for bats (Chiroptera). All data is collected from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (https://www.iucnredlist.org) since in covers most of the bats that exists, and the species lists are maintained with one or two published updates each year.
When running the Python script /taxa4bats/iucn_redlist.py the API at IUCN Redlist is called and all relevant information for bats is downloaded. The data is then stored in text files as a cache for usage between the published updates. An Excel file is also generated that can be downloaded separately. Note that you must to ask for a Token before you can run the script by yourself. It's free, but they don't like commercial use without written permission. Edit the Python script and replace the string 'TOKEN'. If it's not available, then the cached file will be used only.
