inaturalist_list_referenceLook up annotation attributes/values, quality grades, licences, ranks, iconic taxa, and conservation codes before filtering; unknown values can silently return nothing. Conservation codes decode the iucn level on taxon listings and, all but NE and DD, are the csi filter values,…
inaturalist_resolve_nameResolve organism, place, project, or observer names to identifiers. Taxon lookup matches word starts within a name, not only its beginning; other types use cross-kind search with limited spelling tolerance. Without page, candidates retain relevance order. Explicit taxon pages br…
inaturalist_find_placesResolve a place name to a place id, or list places covering a map area. Pass q to match a display-name prefix or all analyzed query terms within it, or all four of nelat, nelng, swlat and swlng for a map area — exactly one of the two, never both. Each result carries its bounding…
inaturalist_search_observationsSearch georeferenced wildlife sightings by area, date, taxon, quality grade, annotation, conservation status, observer, project, and licence. Returns a projected record per sighting with coordinates, licence, first photo, and identification counts. An area is given in exactly on…
inaturalist_get_observationFetch up to 10 distinct observations by id with their community identification thread — who identified what, whether each identification agrees, and the consensus taxon the community landed on. The whole attempted batch costs one upstream request. Records come back in requested…
inaturalist_get_species_countsRank leaf taxa recorded in an area and period, most-observed first. Includes hybrids and coarser identifications; subspecies roll up to their species. An area is given in exactly one form: place_id, the lat/lng/radius triple in kilometres, or a four-corner bounding box. Narrow t…
inaturalist_get_histogramBuild a phenology histogram for a taxon in an area — which months, weeks, or years it is recorded in. The default month_of_year interval answers "when does this bloom or appear here" in twelve buckets; absolute intervals (year, month, week, day, hour) bucket real dates and discl…
inaturalist_get_leaderboardRank the most active observers or identifiers for an area, period, and taxon — who knows this place or this group. kind selects which: observers are ranked by how many observations they recorded, identifiers by how many identifications they made. An area is given in exactly one…
inaturalist_get_similar_speciesList related taxa ranked by observations carrying current identifications of both taxa. This is co-identification evidence, not a directional correction count or an exhaustive list of visually similar organisms. Scope it to an area in exactly one form (place_id, the lat/lng/radi…
inaturalist_get_taxonFetch a taxon profile: the taxonomic path, per-authority conservation listings, the encyclopedia summary, the photo gallery, immediate children, and observation counts. Resolve a name to a taxon id with inaturalist_resolve_name first. A taxon that overflows the response budget c…
