Is there a url for easily finding observations that dont have coordinates (e.g. ones listed on iNat as “Location Unknown”)?
Ditto if they are missing Place Names (or “place_guess”)?
I know the urls for Obscure/Private and Locality Accuracy, but need a systematic way to find observations that are missing coordinates.
Not that I’m aware of, but there’s this feature request:

You can use the parameter geo=false. However, by default this includes observations with geoprivacy=private and/or taxon_geoprivacy=private. So you also need to append verifiable=false and I think that will get you all the observations truly missing locations.

1.2 million observations from over 287K user accounts… Yikes.
I just found a subset that may be useful:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?reviewed=any&quality_grade=needs_id%2Ccasual%2Cresearch&per_page=100&photos=true&d1=1900-01-01&nelat=0&nelng=0&swlat=0&swlng=0
It pulls up not only 0,0 coordinates, but blank ones as well. (I’ve been ignoring all of those in my recent “pings” as I come across them btw)
Well happily I can say, that none of these are from southern Africa ;-)
Very many thanks!
