If anyone’s interested in helping to test, I’m going to start opening up a test of v2 of our API on the obs detail page. You can test any observation page by appending test=apiv2 to the url, e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/71283655?test=apiv2 , and curators will soon see a banner at the…

Oh yeah! You were right @pisum . Wonder how the place_id and preferred_place_id should return different count!. Thanks for pointing that out. Now i could get the right results.

When I open this observation and click on “Species Name” to get a suggestion, it gets stuck on “Loading suggestions”. I can still click “Comment” or Suggest an Identification and it stops “trying”. In other words, it doesn’t lock up, it just never finds a suggestion. I added a second photo, no chan…

I hope this hasn’t been brought up before, but while we’re on the subject of the Identify tool, I am also having the issue on v2 that when waiting for things to load, if one begins typing (out of frustration perhaps!) an identification based on the main picture before the panel containing previous I…

The bug described in this bug report also affects API V2: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/rank-filters-sometimes-show-wrong-results/97/12 e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?hrank=hybrid&lrank=hybrid&place_id=any

Hello, with the v2, the option to search for similar taxa is no longer available. V1 with “Visualmente Similar” [Captura de tela 2024-02-09 115113] V2 without the option “Visualmente Similar” [Captura de tela 2024-02-09 114545]

Does this api support https://www.inaturalist.org/trips/ ?

This afternoon (April 18) the suggested ID hasn’t been working on API V2, but works fine without the test version. This happens on Firefox, Chrome, and Vivialdi browswers, all on Windows 10. I cleared the browser cache, logged out and in, but these had no effect. When try to use it, I click on “Spe…

I accidentally added an observation to a project and wanted to remove it. When using API v2 this was not possible as the little gear next to the project was simply not present. In the v1 everything works fine. V2 [image] V1 [image]

Hi! In my case, API V2 makes page completely inverted right to left, for entire tree of pages, see below. Viktor [iNat]

It seems you have opted into the right-to-left layout test instead of the API v2 test. If you visit any observation and scroll to the bottom, you’ll see the option to opt back out of the right-to-left test and restore the original left-to-right layout.
