query_uniprot() stalls some server or dependency issue? #1

Hi @VoisinneG !

Thanks for a fantastic package that makes a lot of things in life smoother!

Just a couple of hours ago, I noticed that all of a sudden, parts of queryup seems to stop working.

query_uniprot() stalls or is extremely slow, while uniprot REST API server seems to be just fine.

I tried different machines and internet connections, and they all have the same issue.

Am I the only one who has this issue?

Hello @tractatus! Thanks a lot for your message. It is good to know that you appreciate the package :) I have also noticed a great variability of response times. Indeed, repeating the same query can yield very different response times or even fail. I am not sure where the issue is but stalling of query_uniprot() seems to be associated with the message "Error encountered when streaming data. Please try again later." That might indicate a problem on the server side.
