  title: iNaturalist Annotations Identifications API
  description: '# https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/


    [iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/) 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.


    These API methods return data in JSON/JSONP and PNG response formats. They

    are meant to supplement the existing [iNaturalist

    API](https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/api+reference), 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](https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/developers) 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](https://github.com/mapnik/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](https://github.com/mapbox/utfgrid-spec) 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](http://www.inaturalist.org/pages/api+reference#auth) 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.


    Photos served from https://static.inaturalist.org and

    https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com have multiple size

    variants and not all size variants are returned in responses. To access

    other sizes, the photo URL can be modified to replace only the size

    qualifier (each variant shares the exact same extension). The domain a photo

    is hosted under reflects the license under which the photo is being shared,

    and the domain may change over time if the license changes. Photos in

    the `inaturalist-open-data` domain are shared under open licenses. These can

    be accessed in bulk in the [iNaturalist AWS Open Dataset](

    https://registry.opendata.aws/inaturalist-open-data/). Photos in the

    `static.inaturalist.org` domain do not have open licenses.


    The available photo sizes are:

    * original (max 2048px in either dimension)

    * large (max 1024px in either dimension)

    * medium (max 500px in either dimension)

    * small (max 240px in either dimension)

    * thumb (max 100px in either dimension)

    * square (75px square)

    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.
