Error in rspeciesLink #112

Dear,

I’m encountering an issue with the rspeciesLink function. It is returning the API key error again.

Here’s the code and error message:

spp <- c("Eugenia velutifolia", "Eugenia longibracteata")
occs_splink <- rspeciesLink(species = spp, Scope = "plants", basisOfRecord = "PreservedSpecimen", Synonyms = "flora2020")

Error in rspeciesLink(species = spp, Scope = "plants", basisOfRecord = "PreservedSpecimen", : Please provide an API key! Get one at specieslink.net/aut/profile/apikeys

Thanks a lot!

Hi @kvaldemarin ,

As mentioned in the error, you need to get your personal API key in the hyperlink mentioned in the error and add it to the key argument of the function rspeciesLink(). This is now a requirement from them: we can no longer download data without an API key. Please take a look at the help and examples of the function

Let me know if you could fix it so I can close this issue.
