Hello Allan,

The following should work

https://rest.ensembl.org/info/species?content-type=application/json

or

curl 'https://rest.ensembl.org/info/species' -H 
'Content-type:application/json'

Further information about the endpoint can be found at the link below

https://rest.ensembl.org/documentation/info/species

Or asked for here :-)

Cheers,
Stefano
