Provider API Technical info

We would implement this much in the same way as iNaturalist was implemented. See #1608 for the history and discussion of that project.

We would need to reference (scrape) this page to know when a new dataset was available for processing: https://portal.torcherbaria.org/portal/collections/datasets/datapublisher.php

The dataset link is stable and the upstream provider images for the dataset are torcherbaria links.

Checklist to complete before beginning development

• Verify there is a way to retrieve the entire relevant portion of the provider's collection in a systematic way via their API.
• Verify the API provides license info (license type and version; license URL provides both, and is preferred)
• Verify the API provides stable direct links to individual works.
• Verify the API provides a stable landing page URL to individual works.
• Note other info the API provides, such as thumbnails, dimensions, attribution info (required if non-CC0 licenses will be kept), title, description, other meta data, tags, etc.
• Attach example responses to API queries that have the relevant info.

Implementation

• 🙋 I would be interested in implementing this feature.
