Suggest taxa for identifications given conditions
Retrieve automated identification suggestions for an observation or a set of filters like taxon and place
Query parameters
When source is observations, ignore this observation
URL for image to use when source is visual
Number of results to return
Coordinate used when fetching nearby results source is visual or *observations
Coordinate used when fetching nearby results source is visual or *observations
Automatically set place and taxon filters based on this observation; this will override the values of place_id and taxon_id if these values can be derived from the observation
Date the subject was observed (YYYY-MM-DD), used to refine suggestions to those observed at a similar time of year
How the suggestions will be ordered. The default is to order by whatever default a source uses, e.g. the score when source is visual, or the number of observations (frequency) when the source is *observations. Ordering by taxonomy will group the results by their closeness in the taxonomic tree, but continue to use default ordering for siblings (e.g. species in the same genus).
Only retrieve suggestions from this place when source is checklist or *observations
Coordinate used to set a place filter when source is *observations by choosing the place whose boundary contains the coordinate. Only chooses from places curated by staff (aka "standard" places) and only sets the place when lat, lng, and place_id are blank
See place_lat
Source of the suggestions. Note that different sources support different search parameters. See each parameter for details
Only retrieve suggestions in this taxon. If taxon is below genus level it will be replaced with the genus that contains it. When source is misidentifications, suggestions will be species commonly misidentified as this taxon
