HTTP 503 gnr_resolve function

[robson-cruz]

When I try to use the gnr_resolve function I get the following error message: Error: Service Unavailable (HTTP 503)

Thanks for the report! I get the same error. Looks like a server issue. Lets give it a day or two to see if it clears up and if not I will look more into it.

Is there potentially an issue with GNR being discontinued?

GRN is no longer listed here: https://globalnames.org/apps/

Has it been replaced with GNRD?

Hi! I have also been getting this error consistently for a few weeks.

If GNR is gone for good, and anyone is desperate to automate this process until taxize gets updated Global Names Verifier works very similar. See documentation for valid Parameters and data sources.

library(httr)
library(jsonlite)

# Using GET:
a1<-GET("https://verifier.globalnames.org/api/v1/verifications/Homo%7CSimuliidae?data_sources=3")
jsonlite::fromJSON(rawToChar(a1$content))

# Using POST
a2 <- httr::POST("https://verifier.globalnames.org/api/v1/verifications", 
                 config = httr::add_headers(accept = "application/json", `Content-Type` = "application/json"),
                 body = jsonlite::toJSON(list(nameStrings=c("Homo","Simuliidae"),dataSources=3)))
jsonlite::fromJSON(rawToChar(a2$content))

I believe the underlying cause of this issue is #886

This issue was solved. Thanks.
