[pisum]

i provided a few ideas of how to get data in the other thread.

@valerietheblonde

that would provide a “new to a region”

maybe this:

@pisum

based on a request from @bouteloua, i created something to help display the results of this API endpoint in a more friendly format: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_identifications_recent_taxa.html .
this is the code: https://github.com/jumear/stirfry/blob/gh-pages/iNatAPIv1_identifications_recent_taxa.html .

First posts by users, to call out a welcome to them.

not first posts, but you can observations by users who created their accounts in the last week:

• Identify page: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?user_after=1w
• Explore page: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_after=1w

… i think that covers everything discussed here except “rare”, since that’s hard to define. the tools may not provide exactly what you need, but they should get you really close in most cases. if you need more information, just say so.
