Hello,

One Question: does iNaturalist API provides endpoints for working with computer vision suggestions for images of observations?

Attentive,

Gersain Castañeda.

There is no public API for iNaturalist’s vision model.

OK.

So, any app third party contributor that uses the API cannot use the computer vision capabilities of iNaturalist?  
If so, is there any open request to making those endpoints public available for the API?

It’s something we’re discussing, and it’s certainly been asked before, but we haven’t decided on any formal protocol at the moment.
