Hello, I'm trying to query and download occurences with some subs written in VBA. While querying works fine, download leads to errors. At the end oft he query, I have a download link for a ZIP-archive. Putting this into a browser address field lets me download the archive. Giving it to a VBA-Object returns errors. E.g., Set http = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") strURL_Request = "https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/" & strDownload http.setTimeouts 30000, 30000, 30000, 30000 http.Open "GET", strURL_Request, False http.send returns a jason file that contains the download link. I extract this link and use it as parameter in the next step: http.Open "GET", strURL_ZIP, False http.send This results in a timeout. Using "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" alternativly returns "Access denied" Is this a problem with our network restrictions or does the GBIF server block the query?
