Seems to be broken

HEy,

I try to run the script but it always gets a 404 warning during the API request.

 while trycounter < 10:
        try:
            r = requests.post('http://resolver.globalnames.org/name_resolvers.json',
                                json = {'names':full_name, #searching for genus + species first to avoid homonyms 
                                        'best_match_only':'false'})
            break
        except ConnectionError as err:
            trycounter += 1
            sys.stderr.write(err + '\n' + 'Trying again')
    else:
        'More than 10 failed connection attempts, skipping.'
        return None

Any ideas if it is still usable?

Hi. We have not used this script in a while. I have not kept up with the global names API. You might get some clues at https://resolver.globalnames.org/api about how to fix this.
