Platform(s): Website Description of need: I have decided to start manually tracking a handful of yearly stats in a project that I’ve founded. I would love to see iNat implement a convenient yearly summary of a project’s progress, similar to the Year in Review for users. It could have stats like to…

I approved this becuase I think it would be cool, but I wanted to say that year in review is something we only work on for part of the year and it already takes up a good amount of time, as well as processing power and infrastructure. The odds are that implementing it for projects as is likely not i…

Fair enough :) Thanks for letting me know!

Maybe to save processing power on this, there could be an opt-in to year-in-review statistics when creating a project? I have some projects where it would be fun to see this information, but others where it wouldn’t be that interesting.

The old type projects had some basic stats. Why cant newer collection and umbrella have something similar as an opt-in ?

There’s this old stats slideshow link, you can edit the URL to make it work for any project: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/birds-underwater/stats_slideshow I’m not sure when that feature was created, I got the link from someone else once. It’s slow and has some formatting weirdness but still…

I have done a “year in review” type report for one project for a wildlife refuge for several years. You’d think this might be a simple process, but it’s fraught. “Number of observations” is more or less frozen in time each year, so a year-to-year comparison for that should be valid (some people do …

Yes, I want to agree with the above comment. I maintain species lists for various properties. I keep a spreadsheet that is a compilation of what I’ve personally observed on the property supplemented by adding in new species from an iNaturalist project. Keeping the spreadsheet up to date is a surpri…

I was just wondering about this because I would quite like to see a graph of the number of IDs across the year for the UK Hoverflies project to answer a query from the national recording scheme. We have similar data for ourselves on the Year in review. Does anyone know how to get a graph of ‘No. o…

[image] matthewvosper: ‘No. of IDs each week added to UK hoverflies’ for 2023 iNat’s API doesn’t have a way to return aggregated data for identifications (whereas you can return summarized counts of observations for various sets of time periods), but you can build your own set of data by gett…

That is very, very helpful! I shall have fun with this. Thanks for your time. I need to figure out using the API more generally really, so I shall have to use this as a starting point and study your API tutorial a bit more!
