Flo Grattarola

Hi @daniel ! I want to contact you about @gbifmammut to get some help on how to build something similar but to show when novel species are recorded on iNat for a country using a call to the API, like I did here: flograttarola.com/post/inat_ap. Any tips, where to start, or a reality check would be super welcome :)

@flograttarola @daniel @gbifmammut I feel I can help with this (or even build it myself if you prefer). I'm always on the lookout for cool bot ideas and this is definitely one

@danielcarranza @j3j5 @flograttarola Opa! Qué demás Julio! Me encanta, charlemos más :)

@flograttarola cuando quieras, estoy a las órdenes, ya tengo varios "bots uruguayos" como @BigBo_Energy , @CarrascoVuelos o @MeteoUY (que ahora mismo no anda, pero bueno) y este suena super interesante!

@flograttarola @daniel @gbifmammut Hi! This sounds great :) Check my simple (python) mastodon bot github.com/kalab-oto/planetary. Maybe it will be helpful, it posts random wikipedia pages with github actions and cron to trigger the code in given interval. I can imagine that your case is similar, the code will run in given interval (e.g. once a day), check the findings and if there were any new ones it would publish a post

@OtoKalab @flograttarola @daniel @gbifmammut Oh wow Oto, that sounds awesome. Similar cases. Thanks for sharing! I will definitely explore it :)
