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 -- Markus D?ring Software Developer Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) mdoering at gbif.org http://www.gbif.org On 17 Jun 2014, at 02:52, Gaurav Vaidya <gaurav at ggvaidya.com> wrote: > Hi there! > > Since around 2am MT last night (around 8am UTC), the /species?name=A API > query has been down for me; I only get a server timeout with the request > "http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/species?name=Hoolock+hoolock?, for example.
