The Bimby Project shows as of today 3077 observations, yet when I export all, it only has 3076 observations. I can only think the header row is included in the overall count? OR… I have a bad filter that is filtering out a record? Thoughts? [bimby02]

below are all the missing observations and their positions within the 2836 records, if sorted ascending by observation id. it looks like the export processes records in chunks of 100, and for whatever reason, it occasionally skips over a record. Skipped records position obs id id of prev record …

[image] pisum: without looking at the code looks like @jwidness looked at the code and described a solution here: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/3815 . interestingly, assuming the analysis is correct, it seems like the skipping records issue would probably affect the GBIF e…

Welcome to the forum! Can you give an example of an observation that should have been in the export but wasn’t?

Hi, thanks! There were several missing, but for example this one wasn’t exported: https://inaturalist.laji.fi/observations/52000274 We were looking for four different bumblebees (Bombus hypnorum, Bombus pascuorum, Bombus pratorum and Bombus veteranus) and four of the participants who had most of t…

this problem was previously described but never resolved i think. see https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/export-counts-do-not-match-up-with-stats-count/9515 .

Thank you Pisum for pointing out. Yes, this is most probably the same problem.

I just exported observations for Stadin Kimalaiskisa and got all 269 currently listed on the website, including https://inaturalist.laji.fi/observations/52000274 . I’m a little confused by your numbers – you say lauralallallaa had 47 observations, but iNat shows 75: [image] Presumably you mean 47 …

Hi, yes with 47 I meant the target species. We didn’t do any filtering before, only in sorting out in excel. The reason we had all bombus species included was because of our overall targets of the organized bioblitz. We exported the data several times, and each time something was missing (this varie…

this thread probably should be merged with https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/export-counts-do-not-match-up-with-stats-count/9515 at this point. that other thread has a better description of the underlying issue, plus a link to a Github issue that describes a possible resolution.
