Hi all, I am new to this mailing list. Can someone please tell me what is the maximum requests per second allowed on the GBIF API ? I was not able to find this on the GBIF website's API section. I hope that the API guru members on this list will be able to help. Thanks in advance, Akshat

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.… ", "size": 0, "totalRecords": 14064, "numberDatasets": 105 } The file ends up having data in it, so it's not size 0. Best, Scott Chamberlain
