Automatically check `taxonKey` changes at GBIF side
Closed this issue · 3 comments
We should be able to check the taxonKey
behind the list of species automatically so that we should be notified of sudden ID changes at GBIF side. Such changes are rare, but they happened already once and we do not have any instrument at the moment to detect them immediately.
I was thinking to a GitHub action to daily harvest the nubKey
of the RIPARIAS target list checklist. And in case there is a change, authomatically trigger an issue. Still to think where implementing it, in the riparias-target-list repo or in this repo? I would opt for the first option but that's just an opinion.
Thanks Damiano!
Indeed, we need to be informed of such changes. Implementing via a GitHub action on the riparias-target-list is good to me. Don't hesitate to tell (and assign me this issue) if you want me to implement it (or to thing or another way/place to implement such as feature).
I like you agree on this. I have some ideas and we will discuss it next week 👍
Checks are performed via GitHub action in https://github.com/riparias/taxon-keys-early-alert.
Action is performed every night or on demand.
