Hi,

I am facing an issue since few days that I didn't have before. When i try to use the function "validate_names", this error message appear :

fish <- validate_names(c("Erpetoichthys calabaricus", "Polypterus ansorgii"))

Error in gh_process_response(raw) : GitHub API error (401): Message: Bad credentials Read more at https://docs.github.com/rest

Thanks for any help provided,

Maxime

Please update your versions of rfishbase and readr R packages and try again, thanks.

I have updated both packages (I have rfishbase 3.1.7 and readr 2.0.1). This is very weird as rfishbase worked perfectly 2 weeks ago and since then, I did not install or update any packages.

Thanks a have a good evening,

Maxime

Yes, the old package started requiring credentials to access data when the original credentials expired. The latest version sidesteps the need for access credentials to download the fishbase snapshots.

Also note that we recently released the 21.04 snapshot, replacing the 19.04 version of the data.

thanks for confirming the fix!
