Missing observations #9

Description

I have a script which downloads all observations of a number of taxons from Artportalen. I noticed that some observations were missing. The missing observations seem to be present if I export to Excel files from the Artportalen website. I have now run the script again, at least some of the missing observations are present. But other observations could of course be missing.

I first ran the download script 2023-07-21 and then I ran it again 2023-07-31. In the first script run, the latest modification time of an observation was 2023-07-21 00:13:45.833000+02:00. But in the second script run I got additional observations with earlier modification dates which were not present in the output from the first script run. Here is a list of the number of additional observations with different modification dates:

2014-12-25: 1
2016-03-09: 1
2023-07-11: 19
2023-07-12: 23
2023-07-13: 194
2023-07-17: 1
2023-07-18: 67
2023-07-19: 45
2023-07-20: 66

Some of the missing observations were my own, so I am sure that the problem is not due to an error in my analysis of the downloaded data. I noted that other observations that I reported together with the missing observations were present in the downloaded data.

I have attached an Excel sheet with the missing observations. I have also attached a zip-file with the download script and some files that it uses.
