not sure but perhaps related to #105
Hi @npjc , Thanks for you detailed bug report -- it's really helpful to have all this information.
Looks like this is indeed the same problem as #105: NCBI is giving an error for JSON requests > 500 records and rentrez
is failing to pass it on. If you want to fetch more than 500 in one go check out the records you get with version=1.0
(not they will be slightly different than the version 2.0/JSON records).
Failing that you will need to batch up the IDs into lots of 500 then stich the results you are interested in back together.
I will leave this issue open until I have a useful error message in cases like this.
Was about to open an issue - getting same problem using entrez_summary
- looking forward to the http error message
Sorry guys, on the TODO list but the TODO list is long at the moment!
OK, just pushed some changes to the develop branch that should take care of these problems. Will merge to the master and get on CRAN in the next few days
getting summary of all results fails (silently?)
getting summaries of the first works as expected
but try and get the first 501 results and then 💥
