iNat-Tools

Tools by James Mickley for working with the iNaturalist API

View project on GitHub

Below are some tools that I have developed to display data from the iNaturalist API. Please feel free to use, credit is appreciated.

Tools for ID-A-Thons

ID-A-Thon Progress Bar

The ID Progress Bar widget shows a configurable progress bar of the number of identifications for an ID-A-Thon event. It can be embedded in a journal post on iNaturalist as an iframe.

ID-A-Thon Leaderboard

The ID Leaderboard widget shows a leaderboard of identifications by user for an ID-A-Thon event. It can be embedded in a journal post on iNaturalist as an iframe.

Tools for Identifying

Species Count Tool

The Species Count tool displays a list of taxa and the number of observations for each taxon for a given set of filters. It can be used to find species with few observations that might be incorrectly identified, cultivated, rare, otherwise interesting, or in need of more observations to be included in the vision model. For example, this link shows all of the species in the Flora of Oregon: Vascular Plants project that have only been observed once.

iNatJS Javascript Wrapper Library

Hosted as a separate repository, iNatJS, provides a flexible Javascript wrapper for interfacing with the iNaturalist API, and underpins the tools above.
