Integrate For Sharing With iNaturalist #3286

I have been volunteering with an organization that uses OTM, and we had a conversation that came up about connecting OTM to iNaturalist for species identification.

The workflow as I imagine it would be as follows:

  • User creates tree
  • User uploads photo
  • On the image sharing modal, an option is given for iNaturalist
  • Clicking that lets the user submit the image to iNaturalist
  • OTM keeps track of the iNaturalist observation id
  • On a scheduled basis, OTM checks iNaturalist to see if the image has been identified with a species.

I started playing around with this idea, and I have some pieces working on the backend Django app. I would need to add test cases and clean up the UI component.

I assumed we could configure this as optional within the local_settings.py. You would need to create an iNaturalist project for this to work.

If this is a reasonable idea, I can create separate issues for the phone apps.
