Is there a way to download the monthly data from a species phenology graph?  
Thanks

the underlying data comes from the API via [/v1/observations/popular\_field\_values](https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/docs/#!/Observations/get_observations_popular_field_values).

for example, you could get data for Rudbeckia amplexicaulis (taxon 200073) from [https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations/popular\_field\_values?taxon\_id=200073&per\_page=50&unannotated=true](https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations/popular_field_values?taxon_id=200073&per_page=50&unannotated=true)

…

you can also get the data via [/v1/observations/histogram](https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/docs/#!/Observations/get_observations_histogram). this one will allow you to specify different time intervals (ex. month of year, monthly, daily, weekly, etc.), though you will have to make a separate request for each phenology value (flowering, budding, etc.).

for example, the corresponding month-of-year “flowering” data set for R. amplexicaulis could be obtained from [https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations/histogram?term\_id=12&term\_value\_id=13&taxon\_id=200073&interval=month\_of\_year](https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observations/histogram?term_id=12&term_value_id=13&taxon_id=200073&interval=month_of_year)

this page may help to display this data in a more human-friendly format:

This is great. Can use this for week\_of\_year. I added place\_id and got results, but am having troubling with getting results for a defined rectangle.

what is the URL that you’re using to try to get the results for the defined rectangle? (if you want to keep the location private, take a look at the way i’ve defined a rectangle around part of the Greater Houston area: [https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1\_observation\_histogram?nelat=30&nelng=-95&swlat=29.5&swlng=-95.7&interval=week\_of\_year](https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observation_histogram?nelat=30&nelng=-95&swlat=29.5&swlng=-95.7&interval=week_of_year). does that look like more or less how you’re defining a rectangle?)

I think this will work, thanks
