How to get a taxonomically organized species list from a project?

Basically the title. Is there a way to turn a project into a taxonomically organized list of species?

Project no, but you can open the place that you use and sort in taxonomical order there.

@bouteloua showed me a taxonomic URL for my project.
Change the project name to yours

@dianastuder I tried that approach for one of my projects, https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/taxa?projects=biol-221-eco-evo-sp23-bioblitz , but all it returned was “0 taxa observed” Perhaps I did it incorrectly?

@bouteloua why does your solution work for me - but not the next project?

There’s an open bug report here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/project-id-does-not-work-on-observations-taxa/3934

If you go to your project, edit it, and click the button “Preview Observations with these Observation Requirements”

then in the subsequent URL, add /taxa right after “observations” and before the question mark, that might work for you.

@bouteloua Thank you for the suggestion. It’s still not working for me, but I feel like these error messages mean I’m getting closer:

This query returns too many taxa to render at one time. Try adding more filters

This tool accepts the same URL parameters as /observations, but you must add at least one of the following parameters to use it:

place_id

Example: /observations/taxa?d1=2023-01-09T21%3A59%3A00-05%3A00&d2=2023-05-12T21%3A59%3A00-04%3A00&members_of_project=154368&place_id=belgium&quality_grade=research%2Cneeds_id%2Ccasual&verifiable=any

user_id

Example: /observations/taxa?d1=2023-01-09T21%3A59%3A00-05%3A00&d2=2023-05-12T21%3A59%3A00-04%3A00&members_of_project=154368&place_id=any&quality_grade=research%2Cneeds_id%2Ccasual&user_id=1&verifiable=any

projects

Example: /observations/taxa?d1=2023-01-09T21%3A59%3A00-05%3A00&d2=2023-05-12T21%3A59%3A00-04%3A00&members_of_project=154368&place_id=any&projects=10&quality_grade=research%2Cneeds_id%2Ccasual&verifiable=any

d1 and d2 (max date range 1 year)
