ok. well, just for reference, if you ever do get a list of observations you want to un/subscribe to (or for anyone else who has such a list), you can do something like the following in Windows to un/subscribe.

1. suppose your observations are ids 123 and 456.

2. while signed into iNaturalist, open [https://www.inaturalist.org/users/api\_token](https://www.inaturalist.org/users/api_token) in your web browser.

3. that should display like `{"api_token":"J.W.T"}`, where `J.W.T` will be some encoded string. copy the `J.W.T` value.

4. now open up a plain text editor (like Notepad)

5. in your text editor, you’ll add a few commands. the first line is just setting a JWT variable, and you would replace `J.W.T` with whatever the value is that you copied in step #3 above. after that first line, for each observation, add a line to un/subscribe and a second line to wait up to 1 second. the line with the command to un/subscribe references the observation ID, which will change with each observation. (note that the same command subscribes or unsubscribes, depending on the existing subscription state – it’s effectively just toggling between states.) the timeout is there to limit how quickly the commands will be sent to the iNat API.

6. save that text file with a .bat extension

7. run your new batch file.
