Typo in dataTypes 'depository' prevents fetching related data

[salix-d]

When querying taxon data with bold_tax_id(), if dataTypes is 'depository', the query returns empty even thought there is depository data as can be seen when setting dataTypes to 'all'.

The problem is with their API. Example : https://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/API_Tax/TaxonData?taxId=88899&dataTypes=depository returns [] https://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/API_Tax/TaxonData?taxId=88899&dataTypes=all

{
   [...],
  "depositry": {
    "Mined from GenBank, NCBI": 26,
    "Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute": 10,
    "Royal Ontario Museum": 1,
    "Centro de Ornitologia y Biodiversidad": 9,
    "Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales": 3,
    "Coleccion Boliviana de Fauna": 3,
    "Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, Escuela de Biologia": 1,
    "Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Museo de Historia Natural": 8,
    "Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Bernardino Rivadavia": 3,
    "Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Instituto de Biologia": 2,
    "Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais": 1,
    "Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia": 1,
    "Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris": 5,
    "Museo Nacional de Brasil": 2,
    "Universidad EAFIT": 2,
    "Instituto de Investigacion de Recursos Biologicos Alexander von Humboldt": 2
  },
  [...]
}

So to get that info, dataTypes need to be switched to 'all' and then filtered out.

Will inform BOLD's support.

Just saw the typo in the JSON so I tried https://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/API_Tax/TaxonData?taxId=88899&dataTypes=depositry and it still returns []

But for good measure I tried plural of the typo and plural of supposed key word and : https://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/API_Tax/TaxonData?taxId=88899&dataTypes=depositories

{
  "depositry": {
    "Mined from GenBank, NCBI": 26,
    "Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute": 10,
    "Royal Ontario Museum": 1,
    "Centro de Ornitologia y Biodiversidad": 9,
    "Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales": 3,
    "Coleccion Boliviana de Fauna": 3,
    "Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, Escuela de Biologia": 1,
    "Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Museo de Historia Natural": 8,
    "Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Bernardino Rivadavia": 3,
    "Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Instituto de Biologia": 2,
    "Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais": 1,
    "Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia": 1,
    "Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris": 5,
    "Museo Nacional de Brasil": 2,
    "Universidad EAFIT": 2,
    "Instituto de Investigacion de Recursos Biologicos Alexander von Humboldt": 2
  }
}

So I can just switch the keyword to that!

Following my report, BOLD did fix this issue. Both words ('depository' and 'depositories') will return results and they also corrected the typo in the return JSON.
