I’ve spend the whole day trying to get high quality images for user observation but the best I can get is the “url” link which is thumbnail quality. I’ve been calling /observations and /observations {id} with a GET request in each case. Any ideas? Thanks

Once you have the url for the square photo (e.g. https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/313211878/square.jpeg ) you can replace the “square” with “small”, “medium”, “large”, or “original” to get other sizes.

Oh f%#^k that’s ingenious. Good man. Thank you :ok_hand:t2:

集中注意去做这件事，通常你会想的很深，而通常这件事成功的成果也很高。
