SeaLifeBase API not working #70

Closed LoTreb closed 9 years ago

LoTreb commented 9 years ago

Hi there, in attempting to query sealifebase, I was unable to connect using the given API example.

options(FISHBASE_API = "http://fishbase.ropensci.org/sealifebase") kingcrab <- common_to_sci("king crab") kingcrab

Please advise or send a status update. Thank you

Yes, apologies. Looks like the cached taxa table for sealifebase data was lost. Please try installing from github and give it another go. Sealifebase was only recently added and hasn't been tested thoroughly, so do ping me if things break or you start getting unexpected results.

Thanks Carl. Managed to get it partly working, however, I am unable to extract common names using my list of scientific names. It worked for fishbase and now I have a few hundred invertebrates to collect common names for. Thoughts?

Seems to be working now. Thanks!
