Can you show me the code you're running that doesn't correctly create/update the description?
"Notes" in the web interface is the same as the "description" field. I just manually tested this and it appears to be working as expected with both create_observation()
and update_observation()
.
For reference, there is more info here on how fields displayed on inaturalist.org map to API requests/responses.
@JWCook here is the code I used. It works well. The issue I faced is that the data structure I was passing was a tuple instead of a string.
create_observation(
taxon_id=40268,
observed_on_string=time,
time_zone="Bangkok",
latitude="10.6122382",
longitude="104.1774368",
description="This is a some description.",
access_token=token,
#dry_run=True
)

Am trying to add notes to a new observation (See below for screenshot of inat interface) but there is no keyword such in
create_observation
. There isdescription
but doesn't seem to do anything.https://pyinaturalist.readthedocs.io/en/stable/modules/pyinaturalist.v1.observations.html#pyinaturalist.v1.observations.create_observation
