Include project "observation fields" when using API

[bradleyallf]

Hi all,

I’m trying to use the R package rinat to analyze data for a project I run. My project includes a few “observation fields” that users add to their observation. I need these observation fields included in the data I’m analyzing.

However, it looks like rinat does not pull observation fields when I request data from my project. Does anyone know how I can use the API such that observation fields are included in the data?

Thanks so much for your help,

Bradley

You can make a call like https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations?project_id=41347 and the observation fields will be nested under ofvs:

In R, you can access that API call with a function like fromJSON in the jsonlite package.
