okay. so the API itself doesn’t actually have any limits in the number of species / leaf taxa that it can return (as far as i can tell), but that page’s export function specifically does limit the number of taxa that it will return to 10000.
if you want to still use that page’s export function, you could just break up the UK set into smaller subsets. since a third of observations tend to be plants and another third tend to be insects / arthropods, you could make 3 subsets:
- https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observations_species_counts.html?place_id=6857&taxon_id=47120
- https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observations_species_counts.html?place_id=6857&taxon_id=47126
- https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observations_species_counts.html?place_id=6857&without_taxon_id=47120,47126
some other options:
- you could write your own code to get data directly from the API
- you could adapt the code of the page above to remove the limitation (https://github.com/jumear/stirfry/blob/master/iNatAPIv1_observations_species_counts.html)
- you could use other tools that might be able to get the data you’re interested in (https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/several-external-tools-for-inat-data-by-kildor/19906)
