HTTP 404 error for get_tsn()

[rewcook]

I'm getting an HTTP 404 error when attempting to get the TSN's from ITIS.

It's only the get_tsn_() function. Other functions (e.g . itis_getrecord) work if I manually add the TSN.

# fails with HTTP 404 error
taxize::get_tsn_('Actitis hypoleucos')

# runs as expected (176613 is Actitis hypoleucos TSN)
taxize::itis_getrecord('176613')

I'm having the same issue with get_tsn and classification. Classification works if the input is a TSN, but fails with the same 404 error if a taxon name is used. I tested it with Phrurotimpus alarius, Polistes fuscatus, Gorilla gorilla, and Elateridae.

I know this isn't a 'taxize' solution, and if the package authors would like to remove this work-around please do!

# install.packages('ritis')
# install.packages('tidyverse')

library(tidyverse)

input_vector %>%
    str_replace(., ' ', '\\\\\ ') %>%
    paste0('nameWOInd:', .) %>%
    map_df(., ~ritis::itis_search(q = .))
