Observations vs. Download (reviewed=true | verifiable=any)

@nycbirder i see that you’ve started a couple of new threads that are probably related to this thread. it’s probably best to just continue the discussion here rather than adding a bunch of extra threads:

regarding the second link from above, if you’re starting from a URL, take that URL, and then navigate to that URL in your browser. if you’re first going to the export screen and then pasting your URL into the gray box in section one of that page, you’re probably doing something wrong. you can paste a list of parameters+values into that box, but it’s not intended to accept a whole URL in it.

regarding the first link from above, i won’t have a chance to look at this in detail any time soon, but it’s possible that the reviewed parameter is intended to be used in conjunction with a user_id or possibly some other parameter to let it know who the reviewer is. so i would see if you can find a companion parameter for that maybe (or else use an alternative to reviewed).
