@alexshepard I see that the iOS app makes updates calls using /users/new_updates.json?resource_type=Observation&skip_view=true&notifier_types=Identification%2CComment and news calls using posts/for_user.json?older_than=6044. I'm wondering if for either of these endpoints you ever send other parameters. Any other notifier types for example? Or any parameters not listed here, like a page param or something?

from inaturalistapi.

We only query for those two notifier types because they're the only ones that are in the current iOS UI (we show the red chatbox on the Me tab with unseen content). If there are other things iOS could query for, I'd love to know.

For news posts, iOS also asks for ?newer_than=6044 We also query /projects/:userid/journal.json from the project details screen, which returns a list of project news.

In working on an old iOS bug, I remembered that projects sometimes have latitude, longitude, and place_id attached to them. It would be great if the project autocomplete API could return them, so we can draw overlays on the map.

Not sure if I should open a new issue for this?

@alexshepard I split this single ticket requesting an array of features into some individual tickets. The project lat/lng one is at #30 now. For other requests please add them to an appropriate existing ticket or make new ones. Thanks

I've split this ticket up into individual features and I don't think it needs to stick around so I'm closing it. Pretty close to having it all done
