Hi Scott, you’re right about this issue, I’ll investigate what’s happening there.

Subject: [API-users] /occurrence/download route sometimes give size: 0

Hi, 

Just ran into this, not sure how often it happens, but sometimes size value is zero when at least I don't think it should be:

?  curl https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0000739-171109162308116 | jq .

{

  "key": "0000739-171109162308116",

  "doi": "doi:10.15468/dl.jmachn",

  "license": "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode",

  "request": {

    "predicate": {

      "type": "greaterThanOrEquals",

      "key": "ELEVATION",

      "value": "11000"

    },

    "format": "DWCA",

    "sendNotification": false

  },

  "created": "2017-11-10T18:37:35.542+0000",

  "modified": "2017-11-10T18:38:54.444+0000",

  "status": "SUCCEEDED",

  "downloadLink": "http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request/0000739-171109162308116.zip",

  "size": 0,

  "totalRecords": 14064,

  "numberDatasets": 105

}

The file ends up having data in it, so it's not size 0. 

Best, 

Scott Chamberlain
