Use /collections API endpoint #81

Any thoughts about utilizing the /collections endpoints on PhyloPic for attribution? You can link to pages like these: https://www.phylopic.org/collections/39f27cb5-5952-01d2-002a-0721a815ac14

There is also a way to turn those into permalinks, although I still need to document that for public usage.

@LewisAJones will incorporate this as an option for get_attribution().

@keesey how do we make permalinks for collections through the API?

The API Docs show how to create collections. Once you have the collection UUID, you have to use the website's API, which is not currently documented. It's fairly simple, though.

  1. Make a GET call to https://www.phylopic.org/api/permalinks/collections/<uuid>. This will return a hash string.
  2. Use that hash string to create the permalink URL: https://www.phylopic.org/permalinks/<hash>.
