[API-users] Portal API: /species?name=A search is down

[Markus Döring]

Hi Gaurav,
the correct call to the species match service is this:
http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/species/match?name=Hoolock+hoolock%E2%80%9D

I'm surprised it did work before, I don't think we changed the URL in this release.
We *did* finally do a new deploy though yesterday morning so you should see a slightly enhanced occurrence API now.

best,
Markus

I can still access other API services, such as “http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/species/search?q=Hoolock+hoolock”.
