When maxresults is > 10000, R writes 1e+05 , and hence the url is not working. Don't fix that for me. Moreover, using "100000" solves it.

hmmm, tried today, not sure how to fix this

Hey Scott,

I did a little experimenting and I think the way to fix it may be to simply add an as.integer() to the declaration of maxresults on the args object. The problem occurs when the function getForm() attempts to communicate with the gbif api. If maxresults is not an integer because R has converted it to 1e6 for example then this will raise an exception error.

I think you could solve this problem by doing the following, in the function occurrencelist()

When args is created do the following:
args <- compact(list(scientificname = scientificname, dataproviderkey = dataproviderkey,
...,
stylesheet = stylesheet, maxresults = as.integer(maxresults)))

This seems to fix the problem for me.

Hey @dmcglinn , thanks for figuring this out! I will do that right away.

Should be fine now, e..g, do

occurrencelist(scientificname = 'Accipiter erythronemius', coordinatestatus = TRUE, maxresults = 10^2)
