Returning null common_name for all plants about trefle-api

[LorienOlive]

Should all 1000 plants in a single call have null for their common name?

Is there a way to filter for plants w a value in common name? I didn’t see that endpoint in the documentation.

Addendum: When I run a query on "rosemary" (for example), it does return objects with common_name, but it continues to return null on all object returned from the base "api/plants" call. I increased the page_size to 1000, and still all null. I assume that's not intended, but let me know if you think I might be doing something wrong!

Hey @LorienOlive, a lot of plant indeed don't have a common name yet. This is mainly due because the data is still incomplete, and is hard to fill.
For example, if you take the first element of the /plants endpoint, Gazania pectinata, we don't know if it really have a commmon name (https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gazania_pectinata), and if it have, where to find this information.
