Details and Options
ResourceFunction["INaturalistSearch"] utilizes
iNaturalist's API to find observations of species and taxa.
The
query can be specified using a taxon (as a string,
Entity or an
ExternalIdentifier for a Wikidata ID) or by
All to include all possible taxa in the search.
ResourceFunction["INaturalistSearch"][query] is equivalent to ResourceFunction["INaturalistSearch"][query,"Dataset"].
Supported properties for ResourceFunction["INaturalistSearch"] include:
"Count"
|
total count of taxa observations of the specified query
|
"Dataset"
|
dataset with taxa observations of the specified query
|
"SimplifiedDataset"
|
simplified dataset with taxa observations of the specified query
|
"RawData"
