Plant phenology graph data

the underlying data comes from the API via /v1/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

you can also get the data via /v1/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

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