here are the videos that i think would be good as a starting point:

  1. (5-10 minutes) custom searches using URL parameters
  2. (5 minutes) downloading data from iNaturalist via CSV export
  3. (10 minutes) downloading iNaturalist data from GBIF (including pros and cons)
  4. (5-15 minutes) demystifying the API – part 1 (general overview – what is an API, what kind of data can be accessed via iNaturalist’s APIs, and what are pros and cons of API vs other ways to get data?)
  5. (5-15 minutes) demystifying the API – part 2 (conceptual walkthrough getting data from the observation endpoint using the Swagger interface)
  6. (10-15 minutes) demystifying the API – part 3 (example – get 1000 observations into R)
  7. (10 minutes) demystifying the API – part 4 (example – get histogram data – or other aggregated data – into Excel)
  8. (10-30 minutes) demystifying the API – part 5a (example – producing a tiled map visualization in QGIS, including pulling data from GBIF, too)
  9. (5 minutes) demystifying the API – part 5b (example – producing and sharing a tiled map visualization in ArcGIS Online in under 5 minutes)
  10. (5-10 minutes) demystifying the API – part 6 (general best practices and limitations of the API)
