Search and filter identifications

[jdmore]

@mftasp

I would like to be able to filter my identifications by time period, so that I can report numbers for plant identifications that I carry out each month/quarter/year.

I think @pisum’s tool would work well for this too:

https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_identifications.html?current=any&user_id=mftasp&d1=2020-11-01&d2=2020-11-30&per_page=2

then look at the “total records” at upper left in the results. This URL is for November 2020, but just edit the dates in the URL for any other time period.

This should also accept a place_id= parameter if you want to limit it to observations from a particular place (or comma-separated places, if you are really lucky…;-)

EDIT: yep, just tested, you can use multiple place_id numbers separated by commas.

Note: I changed per_page to a small number to speed the return of results, since you are mainly interested in the “total records” number. The default is 30 per page which takes a few seconds, and higher numbers go even slower (presumably since it is querying the API to build the page display). But if you are interested in seeing details in the results, just change the number. (Heads up, the max of 200 took at least a minute to return results.)
