When I export observations from a project I created… and for which I have vetted every record… is it possible to pull down just my identification?
There are a few records that have the wrong consensus indentification.
Should I resubmit this as a new topic?
Thanks!
For instance… this observation (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/164824658) was initially IDd as a Blanchard’s Cricket Frog, but it is an American Toad toadlet (with two subsequent correct IDs, one is mine). But the consensus ID is ‘Frogs and Toads (Order Anura)’.
There is an ‘Ident. User’ on the export page, I entered by username, but it didn’t change the identification in the export Preview. So, I’m not sure what that does.
Thanks!
if the project is a “traditional” type and you are the only project curator, i believe it’s possible to export from the project page with the latest curator identification.
otherwise, i think regular users would need to utilize the API to get this information. here’s something that might be useful: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observations?project_id=khs-2023-spring-field-trip&per_page=200&options=idextra&idextra_user_id=twtaggart. it doesn’t show your id taxon, but it tells your how your id relates to the current observation taxon. (the page could be easily modified to show the id taxon though.)
If you add &ident_user_id=[your username] to your search in the URL, you should have the option to download 4 variables related to your identification the normal way (e.g., https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/export?verifiable=true&page=1&spam=false&ident_user_id=nathantaylor&place_id=any&user_id=&project_id=&taxon_id=148407). Here are the variables with my username:
ident_by_nathantaylor:taxon_id
ident_by_nathantaylor:taxon_name
ident_by_nathantaylor:taxon_rank
ident_by_nathantaylor:category
nice. i didn’t realize this existed.
I was so happy when I stumbled on it (earlier this year, I think). I’ve wanted a feature like that for a long time.
That worked perfectly. Thanks!
