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!
Sounds similar to something @aspidoscelis has requested for previously
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!

I had previously asked this question (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/export-a-project-w-my-identifications-not-the-consensus/42195). However, I am not getting the results I want now (and questioning that I ever was).
I have a project that includes this observation (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/25594426). It is a Plain-bellied Watersnake (my ID), but there are two previous IDs as a Common Watersnake. So, the consensus ID is Watersnake. There are approximately 400 similar conflicting IDs in the project, and it will take too long to export all the records and then look up my IDs individually.
I want to export my project records with only the ID I made. I have vetted and made IDs on all 27,000+ records in the project.
I set up the query (quality_grade=any&identifications=any&place_id=1886&ident_user_id=twtaggart&projects%5B%5D=kansas-herpetofaunal-atlas-inat&d1=2019-05-20&d2=2019-05-23&spam=false) to filter just this record for testing, it always returns the consensus ID (Watersnakes) and not my ID (Plain-bellied Watersnake).
Hopefully, that made sense.
Thanks!
for moderators that see this, this should probably be merged with the previous thread: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/export-a-project-w-my-identifications-not-the-consensus/42195
you need to input this in the URL, like so: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/export?quality_grade=any&identifications=any&place_id=1886&ident_user_id=twtaggart&projects[]=kansas-herpetofaunal-atlas-inat&d1=2019-05-20&d2=2019-05-23&spam=false
when navigate to the export page this way, you will have the option at the bottom of the page to return some fields related to your identifcations. if you want to see these in the export, you must remember to select the ones you want to see:
I’m trying to replicate what you did here @nathantaylor but I’m not able to get it to work on my end. For example, if I follow the link you shared and replaced your username with my username, and then scroll down to the area where you select which of the four user ID-related variables you want to download, it still shows your username. Any thoughts on how to get my IDs rather than yours? Thanks a lot!
first, change the link url to reflect your user id. then navigate to that url.
Ahh, I see. I was changing the URL in the “query parameters” input rather than the browser URL. Works now. Thanks!
