Is there a way to locate observations where the most recent ID given is the Maverick? The idea is that this situation is worth looking more closely at because it usually reflects an expert going through and noticing something that others missed. It could be as simple as correcting a mistake made by…

probably the closest thing to what you’re looking for is to find identifications that are both maverick and disagreements: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_identifications?category=maverick&disagreement=true . using the page above, you can also search for specific taxon_id (the taxon of th…

[image] gordonh: The next step would be to do more what @jeanphilippeb was suggesting, to create a project of these and then maybe update it occasionally, the way it was done for the Pre-maverick project. is that really necessary? that kind of process is not super efficient – neither comprehe…

(There is only one Pre-Maverick project. You are thinking of the Phylogenetic projects?)

[image] pisum: wouldn’t you rather get all the data in real-time? @gordonh , I agree with @pisum , as long as you can filter observations as you need. I missed the trick with the filter disagreement=true https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/identifications?category=maverick&disagreement=true [i…

[image] jeanphilippeb: This is the only drawback. every workflow has pros and cons. i think a major benefit of using my workflow is that you get to see identifications by date they were made, as opposed to the submit or observed date of the observation. to mitigate the drawback that you note…

I can work with pisum’s system just fine, but I’m not just thinking about me. A project is visible within iNat itself and easily understood by anyone who visits the project home page. There is no need for advanced knowledge and manual URL construction. It sounds like the project update algorithm ma…

[image] gordonh: How feasible is it to have an automatically running process that updates projects in real time? That’s what I do for the project Placeholder backup , it is updated every 5 or 10 minutes (and we got an alert on the forum when nobody was running the software that updates the pro…

[image] gordonh: A project is visible within iNat itself and easily understood by anyone who visits the project home page. There is no need for advanced knowledge and manual URL construction. people have to know that a particular project exists, too. i don’t think they’re going to just stumbl…

Right, the project wouldn’t advertise itself, there would have to be some discussion of it on the forum, but at least it’s easy to promote with a simple link without having to explain anything more technical. I don’t have capacity to implement this now, so I guess we’ll leave the idea for the momen…

[image] gordonh: unless iNat provides an agent hosting service if you’re going to ask iNat to put effort into something that’s not one of the things i already mentioned, you should just ask them for a new observation filter that would be something like includes_maverick_id=true/false/disagrem…

I can implement it and give it to you (I have already the technical basis, it would “just” be a different project to populate, with different inputs and rules), and you run it day and night, on your PC. And, once a day (or better, twice), you would have to get a new API token from https://www.inatu…
