Ok, just added a few more API parameters that will work in obs search and Identify. No UI yet, maybe never since these features are very niche, IMO. Here they are, with examples:
acc
: Boolean to filter on whether or not observations have apositional_accuracy
, e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=kueda&acc=falseacc_above
: Show observations with positional_accuracy above a given value, e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=kueda&acc_above=10000acc_below
: Show observations with positional_accuracy below a given value, e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=kueda&acc_below=3
Not quite the same, but the geoprivacy
API parameter has existed for a while. It’s not in the UI because, well, like everything you’ve requested it’s really only of interest to a tiny fraction of power users, but here’s how you edit a URL to use it:
- Obs where geoprivacy is private: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?geoprivacy=private
- Obs by a single user where geoprivacy is obscured: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=kueda&geoprivacy=obscured
- Obs by a single user where geoprivacy is obscured or private: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=reuvenm&geoprivacy=obscured_private
Searching by whether or not the coordinates were obscured because of a taxon’s conservation status (the taxon_geoprivacy
param) was something we released like last week or something, but it works pretty much the same:
- Obs where taxon geoprivacy is private: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_geoprivacy=private
- Obs by a single user where taxon geoprivacy is obscured: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=kueda&taxon_geoprivacy=obscured
- Obs by a single user where geoprivacy is obscured or private: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=reuvenm&taxon_geoprivacy=obscured_private
I should note that there’s still some work to be done here, specifically on the maps. I don’t think they’re using these new params just yet.
