Is there a way via the API to the Projects to which an Observation belongs, given the observation id? (I’m interested only in whether this can be done via the API; I’m not interested in whether those projects can be displayed by other means.)
You can only get the list of Traditional projects, plus Collection/Umbrella Projects which the user has joined. An observation doesn’t know about the Collection/Umbrella projects that it is in if the user hasn’t joined the project.
If you make this API call:
https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations/{id}?include_new_projects=true
The results will include project_ids with Traditional projects and non_traditional_projects with joined Collection/Umbrella projects.

what is the use case for this?
jwldness: Thanks so much!
Some observations appear in both iNat and MushroomObserver.
In MO, it would have been be a nice touch to list the iNat projects.
(The fallback is that the MO observation has a link to the iNat counterpart, and MO users can follow that link if they’re interested in a complete list of the relevant iNat projects.)
