I would like to test the iNaturalist AI and compare it with similar services. To this end, I need to send images and get the suggested species. Moreover, I want to test what parts/how many parts of the organism are required to get a good ID. I think it would not be good practice to create duplicat…

staff response: [image] Computer Vision Suggestion API There is no public API for iNaturalist’s vision model.

There’s the Computer Vision Demo page: https://www.inaturalist.org/computer_vision_demo You can give it images and it’ll make suggestions, but you don’t have to make an observation. There’s more info here: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/computer_vision_demo Is that sort of what you’re look…

There are a group of papers that have done similar studies, so you could check their methodologies. You can also check them for what not to do in terms of evaluation for pitfalls to avoid, such as this comment on a recent paper: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/comment?id=10.1371/annotatio…

Kind of. But I was hoping I could automate the process via some API that I could use in a Python script. (Maybe some type of request I missed when reading through the API docs, or some workaround.) That way it would be easier to upload, e.g. 300 images over night and to store the responses for later…

Is there some API identification request (without creating an observation)?
