ALA download requests - add sourceTypeId param #16

Closed nickdos closed 8 years ago

nickdos commented 8 years ago

When performing an ALA records download, add an extra request param:

sourceTypeId=2001

which corresponds to ALA4R source, as defined at http://logger.ala.org.au/service/logger/sources

We should be doing something with user-agents to tracking ALA4R requests. Wondering if this functionality has fallen by the way side.

Done. As of AL4R v1.24, the occurrences() function includes sourceTypeId as a query parameter to its web call. In addition, all ALA4R calls to ALA web services use a user-agent string of the form "ALA4R ALA4R_version (R_version_and_platform)" as has always been the case.
