Dear COL users,
the COL portal now has tombstone pages for once existing, but now deleted COL identifiers. Here is an example:
https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/64SCW
This shows the basic information as it once existed as well as links to the first and last appearance in ChecklistBank.
The API still returns a 404 for these ids, but does include a message and an archived usage instance that can be processed:
https://api.checklistbank.org/dataset/3LR/taxon/64SCW
Btw this is also true for synonyms being looked up as accepted names / taxa:
https://api.catalogueoflife.org/dataset/3LR/taxon/7Q8L8
Best wishes,
Markus
