I’m new to iNat and filtering. Is there a way to generate a list that includes only the species I’ve observed, but gives the count of all observations for those species?

The easiest way I can think of is with a tool that pisum created – https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observations_species_counts.html?user_id=ajadewitt [image]

Maybe we can make this a feature request (and it shouldn’t be too hard since the code already exists on GitHub)?

That looks close to what I want, but is there a way to filter by location? Adding &place_id= to the URL doesn’t seem to work.

You’re looking for only species you’ve observed in a particular place, or you want the total number of observations to be limited to a particular place?

Hmm, good question! My main goal, I guess, is to see the total observations within a region, for species I’ve observed myself. If it could limit to species I’ve observed within the desired region, that would be a bonus.

I think you’ll have to export the list of species you want to include, and then either construct a long taxon_ids search , or do a list_id search . To export your species list, use the Export button from your life list. If you want, you can filter by taxa you’ve seen in a particular place at this po…

Thanks! You’ve been very helpful. I’ve got a lot to explore.

I think probably the Explore brainstorm is a reasonable place to suggest it.
