Description of problem: I am managing a project (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/banana-natural-biodiversity-mapping) dealing with Musa diversity. We are exporting data and pics to an external dedicated site (https://www.crop-diversity.org/mgis/musa-in-situ). Pics are exported only if they bear à CC license. © pictures are not exported. So I regularly check new observations with © pics, contact the owners and ask them if they would be ok or not to modify their license so that we can use their pics in our tool. At the beginning, I was filtering the observations of the project using this URL: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/project/banana-natural-biodiversity-mapping?license=none&projects=8367&view=table. But this is not working anymore, and I can’t find a way to filter the observations this way. All other CC licenses are filterable, but not the © one. Any idea?

not sure why the license=none and photo-license=none parameters don’t work any more, but while you’re waiting on the Explore page to be fixed, i think you can still use the licensed=false and photo_licensed=false parameters in the observation search endpoint in the API to find unlicensed observations.

here’s something that might help you to view the response from the API a little more easily:

Hi @pisum

I’ve been a bit away from the forum lately. Just seeing your answer today and, yes, it seems to work!
Many thanks - and happy new year,

these still don’t work right? I need to search for all rights reserved observations, but seems like it might not be possible since I want a list of species rather than a list of observations as the output

just GET from /v1/observations/species_counts instead of /v1/observations. for example: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observations_species_counts?project_id=banana-natural-biodiversity-mapping&licensed=false

The ability to search for these is there, you’ll have to use photo_licensed=false, eg

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?project_id=8367&place_id=any&verifiable=any&captive=any&photo_licensed=false

I updated the search URLs wiki as well.
