Unable to Access IUCN API v3 with CRAN Version of rredlist (403 Forbidden Error)

[wk-ai]

Hello,

I am currently facing an issue with the rredlist package (CRAN version) when trying to access IUCN Red List API v4.

Issue Details:
Package: rredlist (CRAN version)
Function: rredlist::rl_use_iucn()
Error: When running the function rredlist::rl_use_iucn(), my browser opens the following URL:
https://apiv3.iucnredlist.org/api/v3/token
This leads to a 403 Forbidden error page.

Please refer to the discussion in #52.

Thank you for your quick reply. It seems that there isn't an effective solution at the moment. I will continue to monitor the issue.

You can either use the demo key documented here in that issue: #52 (comment)

Or install the development version of the package and use v4 of the API:

remotes::install_github("ropensci/rredlist")

Your solution was very effective, and I think my issue was with the AOH package.
