# SpeciesDex
A simple web application that shows the top 100 most observed species in a specific city using the iNaturalist API. It also marks species that a specific user has already observed in that city, creating a real-life Pokédex experience.
## Features
- Search for species by city
- View top 100 most observed species in the selected city
- Mark species that you've already observed
- Beautiful card-based interface
- Responsive design
## How to Use
1. Open `index.html` in your web browser
2. Enter a city name (e.g., "New York", "London", "Tokyo")
3. Enter your iNaturalist username
4. Click the "Search" button
5. View the results! Species you've observed will be marked with a green border and checkmark
## Technical Details
- Built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Uses the iNaturalist API to fetch bird data
- No external dependencies required
- Responsive design that works on all devices
## API Usage
The application uses the following iNaturalist API endpoints:
- `/observations` - To fetch user observations
- `/observations/species_counts` - To fetch top observed species
## Note
Make sure you have an active internet connection to use the application, as it needs to communicate with the iNaturalist API.
