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.
i couldn’t figure out where in the system the endpoint is being used (though i didn’t try very hard), and i don’t fully understand what it’s trying to do (specifically, why it seems to pull ancestor taxa for a given IDed taxon). that said, i took a stab at presenting the results in what i thought might be a useful format. if anyone has thoughts on a better format, let me know. i’ll probably also add some buttons or links for next / prev page later (so that it’ll be easier to get additional results beyond the first page).
