Faulty "too many results" error #26

Closed rsh249 closed 6 years ago

rsh249 commented 6 years ago

When I run: 

di = rinat::get_inat_obs(taxon_name="Frageria chiloensis", maxresults=10, quality='research')

I get the following error. 

Error in rinat::get_inat_obs(taxon_name = "Frageria chiloensis", maxresults = 10,  : 
  Your search returned too many results, please consider breaking it up into smaller chunks by year or month

I can get other queries to work for many more records but no matter what I set for maxresults with Frageria chiloensis as the taxon_names search term I get this error.

This might be considered a duplicate of #19

Oh geeze. I realize now that the error is that I misspelled my search term. That spelling does not exist in the database so the error I got was still a bit obscure.
