Batch uploading of past (specimen based) observations
For those who might have noticed a sudden influx of old Annonaceae observations (perhaps only @rhjerkens) I'm adding to this project: I have been using @jtklein 's batch uploading gizmo.
I provided a spreadsheet with the usual kind of collection data (in this case exported from a BRAHMS database, based on the one used at herbarium U, where I was based at the time) and photos that can be attributed to records in that spreadsheet (in this case via my initials and collecting numbers in the file name). Johannes then crafted a series of scripts to upload these automatically via the iNaturalist API.
It's much faster than going through my backlog by hand, and I don't immediately spot errors creeping in. There will be more details to follow...

Excellent! I was doing the same thing @mikepirie so I should check this out. Thanks for sharing.
It's working really well - I'll get back to you as soon as Johannes gives it the all-clear.
Hi Mike, any news about @jtklein ’s batch upload? Looking forward to try it. Cheers, Roy
Oh yes, this really has to get out there - thanks for the nudge, passing it on again @jtklein :-)
Hej there, the blog post is now online here:

Super! I will try it out and see if I can put my old observations to good use!
