This would be amazing - an incredibly useful addition to a number of projects our research group is working on (and likely others as well!).

thanks for the bump on this @keatonwilson can you try it and let me know what you think?

remotes::install_github("ropensci/spocc@sidecar")
# reload R / i.e., quit, then restart R
library(spocc)
res <- occ(query = 'Danaus plexippus', from = 'inat', limit = 50)
data.table::rbindlist(res$inat$data$Danaus_plexippus$photos)

Just got it working! Super useful - would be easy to bulk-download photos via R or command line for further analysis. This is a great addition - thank you!
