Thanks Peter,

Yes, I was authenticated. Thanks also for your (off the record) hint to pygbif.

That makes a nice abstraction of the API and with that I'm able to request a download from my python code:

from pygbif import occurrences

user = 'me'
email = 'me@myself.be'
pwd = 'pwd'

dataset_ids = [
'key1',
'key2'
]
queries = ['datasetKey = {}'.format(x) for x in dataset_ids]
results = occurrences.download(queries, user=user, pwd=pwd, email=email, pred_type='or')

Regards,

Bart

Hi Bart,

Did you authenticate your request?
