Rust API client for inaturalist

https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/

iNaturalist is a global community of naturalists, scientists, and members of the public sharing over a million wildlife sightings to teach one another about the natural world while creating high quality citizen science data for science and conservation. The iNaturalist technology infrastructure and open source software is administered by the California Academy of Sciences as part of their mission to explore, explain, and sustain life on Earth.

These API methods return data in JSON/JSONP and PNG response formats. They are meant to supplement the existing iNaturalist API, implemented in Ruby on Rails, which has more functionality and supports more write operations, but tends to be slower and have less consistent response formats. Visit our developers page for more information. Write operations that expect and return JSON describe a single body parameter that represents the request body, which should be specified as JSON. See the "Model" of each body parameter for attributes that we accept in these JSON objects.

Multiple values for a single URL parameter should be separated by commas, e.g. taxon_id=1,2,3.

Map tiles are generated using the node-mapnik library, following the XYZ map tiling scheme. The "Observation Tile" methods accept nearly all the parameters of the observation search APIs, and will generate map tiles reflecting the same observations returned by searches. These "Observation Tile" methods have corresponding UTFGrid JSON responses which return information needed to make interactive maps.

Authentication in the Node API is handled via JSON Web Tokens (JWT). To obtain one, make an OAuth-authenticated request to https://www.inaturalist.org/users/api_token. Each JWT will expire after 24 hours. Authentication required for all PUT and POST requests. Some GET requests will also include private information like hidden coordinates if the authenticated user has permission to view them.

Terms of Use

Use of this API is subject to the iNaturalist Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We will block any use of our API that violates our Terms or Privacy Policy without notice. The API is intended to support application development, not data scraping. For pre- generated data exports, see https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/developers.

Please note that we throttle API usage to a max of 100 requests per minute, though we ask that you try to keep it to 60 requests per minute or lower, and to keep under 10,000 requests per day. If we notice usage that has serious impact on our performance we may institute blocks without notification.
