ncbi_searcher Error in taxonomy(zz = outsum) : Too Many Requests (RFC 6585) (HTTP 429).

[mpnelsen]

Hi,

I'm trying to conduct searches for accessions derived from a single gene in a single genus, but am getting an error (below). I'm wondering if there might be a way I can slow down the taxonomy search inside the function to circumvent this issue? Thanks for any suggestions!

[sckott]

thanks, having a look

[sckott]

@mpnelsen reinstall remotes::install_github("ropensci/traits") and try again, we weren't sending the Entrez API key along with requests to NCBI.

[mpnelsen]

Thanks a ton, @sckott

Actually...I'm still getting an error thrown after the update...

[sckott]

did you restart R?

turn on verbose curl output to make sure the key is being sent. you should see it as a query parameter.

crul::set_verbose()
ncbi_searcher(...)

[mpnelsen]

I did...and it looks like it's sending it along (changed to a string of x's here). Thanks much for your help.

change in 42148b5

@mpnelsen reinstall again. added a sleep parameter to this fxn, e.g, i tried it with your eg and with sleep=2L and it kept the rate remaining at 9 the whole time.

also i wonder if we have different rate limits b/c i wasn't hitting the 429 error you hit. anyway, this should do it i hope

[mpnelsen]

That did it. Thx a lot, @sckott
