I would like to download a dataset from GBIF of some of my iNat observations to have a doi to be referenced in an article but I do not find the way to filter the dataset using iNaturalist labels, the only way I can select the relevant records I am including in my research (doing it manually or by lo…

Can you share an example of what you mean by label? Depending on what you are trying to do this might be a better question for the GBIF forum.

Select “iNaturalist Research-grade Observations” in the Dataset field on GBIF.

Try this on GBIF: Occurence search → All filters → Occurence → Recorded by → enter your iNat-Name https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?recorded_by=frahome&advanced=1

But if these are all y…

Ok thank you, possibilities are clear now, it seems that using the API might be the only way. It shouldn’t be too difficult and if needed I might give it a try.

Can you filter on GBIF using iNaturalist tags?
