How to use iNaturalist's Search URLs - wiki part 1 of 2

That page won’t filter by disgreement status, but the API does take that parameter. So you can see your disagreeing IDs using the tool @pisum made: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_identifications.html?user_id=arboretum_amy&disagreement=true

The column labeled “ID = disagree” lets you know your ID was a disagreement, and the column labeled “Prev Obs Taxon Name” tells you what you were disagreeing with.

There are two ways to have your ID register as a disagreement. First, if you give an ID that is incompatible with the Observation Taxon, your ID will automatically disagree with it. Second, if you give an ID that is coarser than the Observation Taxon, you can choose to disagree or not (via the much-maligned popup with orange and green buttons).

This is one of the first kind:

And this is one of the second kind:

In both cases, you can tell it’s a disagreement because of the text at the bottom of the ID, and because it shows up in the algorithm summary.

Whether an ID is a disagreeing ID or not is independent of whether it is active. So here’s an ID that isn’t active, but is a disagreeing ID:

When your ID is a refinement of the Observation Taxon (e.g. you add species to a genus level observation), it doesn’t count as a disagreement. So this is not a disagreement:
