r1_comp_groups download for 'birds' does not work
Closed this issue · 8 comments
I have been having some issues when trying to download the comprehensive list of species in the 'birds' group. The code I am using works for mammals, but for some reason, I am unable to do this for birds.
This is the code that I am using in R:
all_mammals <-rl_comp_groups(group = c('mammals'), key = token) # token is my IUCN key. This code works and returns a list of all species in the group 'mammal'.
all_birds <-rl_comp_groups(group = c('birds'), key = token) # This does not work.Is this an issue with the API? I have checked that the group name is correct. Any help would be appreciated.
I get the same result.
We'll have to ask the API maintainer - we'll see if we get a response, we may not
The API maintainer responded that they'll look into it.
@bgerstner90 looks like this is working again
Hello and sorry to bother. It's not working for me. 'Mammals' is working but 'birds' is not.
Question: what are the choices I can insert in group argument?
as it says in the documentation for the group parameter, if you run rl_comp_groups() you should get a list of the groups you can use
it seems the redlist service is down right now for me so i can't check if mammals is working or not
Ok, Scott, thank you. I was trying to retrieve this information but I was having a 'bad gateway' and I could not find the groups. I was not supposing the service was down but I was no sure, thank you for your information.
Anyway, mammals stopped working so I think I got lucky when I first searched for mammals. At the moment no search is being processed probably because the service is down.
Thank you!
No idea when the service will be operational again, hopefully soon
