Issue

BISON API introduced in 2a-Exploring-the-BISON-API is no longer maintained.

As of December 17, 2021, the BISON application will no longer be available online and has been replaced by https://www.gbif.us
https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5138e8e5e4b02c509e50c57f

Potential Workaround

1. Change the source URL and parameters to
   # Construct the service URL as two components: the service URL and the request parameters url = 'https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search' params = {'species':'Bison bison', 'hasCoordinate': True, 'limit':300}

(the limit of query in GBIF is 300)

2. change the data key to results
3. change the providers to institutionCode
