App owner application approval delay

Hello everyone.

I want to create an Oauth account to access iNaturalist API. I’ve already passed the requirements of 10 improving identifications in my account.
I accessed the page to apply as an App owner, it’s just a text area where I described my app feature and when I clicked on “Apply” button I only got the message “App owner application submitted”.
Since more than 48 hours I didn’t get feedback or access to API.

I would like to know if there is a delay to approve API account or if I missed something.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum!

I don’t know for sure, but since it is over the weekend, I don’t think 48 hours is that long. I’d probably give it a couple more days and then email help@inaturalist.org if you haven’t heard anything.

Yes, your application was submitted on Saturday, so it was during the weekend. Please expect to wait a few business days at least before following up.

Hello
Thank you all for your reply.
They replied, but I wasn’t satisfied. So I’m also asking in community here.

How can I make API requests ? I mean, what I’m looking for is to handle “POST Observation” requests through the API.
But to handle that API request I need to be authenticated as described in documentation (see attached pictures). So please, how can I proceed ?

Thanks

You’ll need to resolve your app application issue/question with staff. The forum community cannot assist with that.
