I'm closing this. Apparently the url encoder I used failed to encode the square brackets and I saw this issue. Made me think that square brackets ought to be allowed, reading more it looks to me like [
isn't a valid character anyhow.
A nicer error message would be appreciated though
The phylogeny tool looks up all sort of odd names. For example
[Bauhinia] scandens var. horsfieldii ott493887
https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/match?verbose=true&name=[Bauhinia]%20scandens%20var.%20horsfieldii%20ott493887But that result in an error
HTTP Status 400 – Bad Request
Apparently it isn't possible to search for strings that contain
[
or]
