I am trying to access an API of all Fungi observations and display the medium_urls as images for each Fungus. However, although the API link returns > 400 records and medium_urls under each Fungus taxon, I can only display 30 through my GET requests. I tried setting the limit of the page in my code …

What about something like https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/taxa?taxon_id=47170&rank=species ? It will return information for each species (up to 10k using paging), including the medium_url for the default taxon photo. [Screenshot_20230223_045719] (Note that the default taxon photo won’t necessarily…

Welcome to the forum! There are almost 8 million verifiable Fungus observations, you need the medium_url for every observation/image? That’s considerably larger than the API was intended to support . [image] Can you explain more about what you’re intending to do with this data and we can try to …

You can use the page parameter to get more pages of results (e.g., page=2&per_page=200). See the Pagination section in the guide jwidness linked for more info. If you want to get that many photos, though, you may want to get them from the iNaturalist Open Dataset instead.

Thanks so much for the response! I won’t need all 8 million but I would like to access at least a couple of hundred pictures from the medium_url links in the API link (10k would be brilliant too). I thought I resolved it by using page & per_page parameters via https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/observat…

[image] fullstackscientist: duplicates or more of each Fungus You’re getting duplicate observations or duplicates of the same species? This search returns individual observations, so if there are multiple observations of the same species, you will get the same species multiple times.

Right, apologies. I thought the above API was linking only 1 observation for each Fungus! Either way, changing the page & per_page parameters, does not give more than 200 results (including duplicates / more). Is there any way at all to use your online API and get a list of each Fungi species (>200 …

Have you looked at the taxa search documentation ?

I have, I believe I sadly couldn’t figure out a route that would not include multiple of the same observations, that just accesses each species

Ah, I cannot believe I completely missed this - this works beautifully! Thank you so much! :blush:

Hey, thank you so much for your previous reply, that was a massive help. I noticed that https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/taxa/${id} , according to the API documentation, does not result in a single result of a single Fungus species either (avoiding multiple observations). Using( https://api.inaturalist.…

Sorry, I’m not sure what you’re trying to do. 150608152 isn’t a valid taxon id number on iNat – the highest number is around 1.5 million
