I would like to use “Explore” to generate a listing of observations that have had an identification added during 2024 (for a specific area). Is there a way to do that? I don’t see anything in the page describing URL filters to filter by any type of date other than date observed or date added.
Someone here, likely @pisum, may know of a way; I do not. (You may also wish to check their page.)
you can get the first 10000 identifications (not observations) for any set of filter parameters that includes place, date range, etc, using a page i made that presents the results of the API in a human-friendly format. for example: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_identifications?place_id=27607&d1=2024-01-01&d2=2024-12-31T23:59:59.99 (note that dates here are based on UTC time zone. so if you wanted local times, you’d have to do the appropriate offset.)
to get the full set of identifications, or their associated observations, you’d probably want to work directly with the API, using some sort of scripting language. whether that’s easy to do depends on your willingness / ability to do that sort of thing. i’m not aware of anything already created to handle this particular use case.
you could also sort of approximate this by getting a list of observations from that place and sorting by update date descending. anything updated after 2024-01-01 would be something that could have had an identification added after that date.

The easiest thing would be to try sorting by date updated, and see if that gets close enough to meet your needs.
