inat observation for a whole class

[lbourgeaud]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get all available occurrences for species in the class 'Actinopterygii' via rinat on R. When I search on the inaturalist.org website, I get 137889 observations for 'actinopterygii'. With the code : get_inat_obs(taxon_name="Actinopterygii", geo=TRUE), I get 100 observations on R. I am wondering what is the defaut number for the maxresult option. Do I need to force maxresult to be higher than 137889? (it does not seem to work).
Also, do 'taxon_name="actinopterygii" really is going to give me all observations for which the class of the organism is Actinopterygii ? The observation I am getting so far have a iconic_taxon_name=actinopterygii column, what does that mean ?

Thank you very much for your answers,

Luana
