Occurrence download API throwing 406 errors
Hi, The occurrence download API has been throwing 406 errors for some users https://github.com/ropensci/rgbif/issues/333 I concur that it happens for me as well. Has anything changed in the backend for the downloads route? Best, Scott
Scott, sorry for that breaking change, but we have changed the response type of “/v1/occurrence/download/request” It was incorrectly set to respond with JSON when in reality returns “text/plain” (a download key or identifier). If possible please change the response in the rgbif package. Please let us know if that fixes the issue and if we can assist you in any other way. Best, Federico.

Hi all, The old behaviour (before 3 December): - Download requests had to have "Accept: application/json" or no accept header. - The response would be "Content-Type: application/json" although the actual content would be text like "0000077-181127163650858" From 3 December until now was only text/plain. New behaviour (as from a few minutes ago): - Download requests can have either "Accept: application/json", "Accept: text/plain", or no accept header at all. - The response Content-Type will be the same as the Accept header, or text/plain if there was none. That should fix the original problem [1], but remain compatible for libraries that currently have a workaround for the current behaviour.

Thanks Federico, It seems to be working now. Right, it's just a text/plain download key. It seems to be working now. Asking the person that opened the issue to test and see if it works for him as well. Scott On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 11:37 PM Federico Mendez <fmendez@gbif.org> wrote:
