I’m a new curator, and part of my motivation to request curator rights was to create atlases for some of the plant species for which I’m trying to improve iNat IDs. I’ve updated a couple of existing atlases based on literature, herbarium records, iNat RG observations, etc. and I’ve added an atlas f…

You are not missing anything, the only option is to perhaps bookmark in your browser ones you want to monitor. There are no site tools for any kind of monitoring or notifications etc.

Thanks for the quick replies. Good to know that I didn’t overlook something. I upvoted your feature request, @jwidness .

I was looking at understanding Out Of Range this AM after reading a similar wiki post. I wanted to see if I had any observations that matched. In the API page, I found a reference to out_of_range = True/False. However when I tested it, it dd not do anything. Is there a URL approach to finding Ou…

I believe it is actually deprecated but the documentation is outdated. I seem to recall asking a similar question back in the Google groups days and getting that answer. But the site should confirm it has not changed since then.

@mikeq - I am pretty sure something is broken in the actual API call. The data is still present in observation records that are returned. For example, if you look at the json for this record of mine, it has the out_of_range=true flag set in the data, but no amount of tinkering with the call paramet…

I added a very basic search to atlases in response to Jane’s feature request https://www.inaturalist.org/atlases . So now if you wanted to see all ‘marked’, ‘active’ atlases of taxa in the LIliaceae you’d do https://www.inaturalist.org/atlases?utf8=✓&filters[taxon_name]=Lilies&filters[taxon_id]=47328&…

Thanks @loarie . Just saw this. It’s a helpful addition to be able to monitor and address out-of-atlas observations.

How do I monitor atlases?

There’s a request for atlas notifications in the notifications post, and I just put in a feature request for a better search/filter on the atlas page as well.
