HTTP failure: 500 #162

Hi, Thanks for developing rentrez R package, which prove to be powerful in integrating NCBI database in R programming.

I have personally prepared a custom command line R script that harnesses rentrez to download information affiliated to protein accession number.

Recently, I tried to run that script as before, however, an error came out as shown below,

Error: HTTP failure: 500 {"error":"error forwarding request","api-key":"2001:da8:8001:864:d929:3366:93a:3c09","type":"ip", "status":"ok"} Execution halted

I don't know what's going on with this problem, and I would like to seek for your help.

Best wishes,

Suze Ma

Hi @SuzeMa ,

500 is an error code for an error that happened on the server side. It's possible this was an intermittent problem ok the NCBI's side. If it continues can you submit an example that produces the error?

Hi @dwinter .. I just came across this error too and the code was working yesterday. How could I solve it? Best wishes Angela
