Error with taxosaurus.org ? #841

Closed diegodaem closed 4 years ago

Hello

I´m beginner so my question may be basic, although I could not find the answer on Google. I am trying to access through the tnrs function, but I get the following error:

library(taxize)

species = c ("Epidendrum arachnoides", "Epidendrum nocturnum", "Epidendrum ciliaris")

(name_query = tnrs(sci = species, source = "iPlant_TNRS"))

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(x$url$url, handle = x$url$handle) : Timeout was reached: [taxosaurus.org] Connection timed out after 10003 milliseconds

sessionInfo() R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 10 x64 (build 18362)

any idea what the problem is?

Thanks in advance

That site is down right now. "connection time out" is a general way to indicate that a server is not responding within some time limit. considering dropping tnrs fxn, see #842

Thank you very much @sckott

tnrs is defunct now (in the dev branch taxa-work)
