Topic: Species-list performance
A simple REST query to obtain a species list for a tetrad within the datasets that we have uploaded, i.e.
https://data.nbn.org.uk/api/taxonObserv … y=GA000677
runs for so long that my web server times out!
By contrast, the old gateway using SOAP SpeciesListRequest to do a similar 1km radius search around the centre of the same tetrad, still completes in only 9 seconds and also usefully gives the date range for each species and a map, neither of which REST provides.
Gateway 5 is supposed to be faster than Gateway 4 isn't it...?
