Use case: searching for photos to add to to species database

[camwebb]

The botany team has a workflow: 1. sampling images from particular places and organizations, 2. checking for new species, 3. documenting them in the GS herbarium. Currently we access the DB directly via ssh and psql. It would be great to get the information via an API. The immediate API needs are thus:

1. Query the trees endpoint, requesting tree lists (minimum results: image_url, id, species and long and lat), filtering by:
   • long/lat bounding box
   • capture date range
   • by organization (this requires a double join in the DB via the planters table)
   • by species
   • by uuid
   • by tree id (trees.id field)
2. Query the organizations endpoint to get the organization ID needed for 1. Filtering on:
   • Organization name
