<h1><a href="https://redmine.open-bio.org/issues/3411#change-15303">Bug #3411: Bio.Entrez.efetch does not respect the API docs / spec on HTTP verb use (GET vs. POST)</a></h1>
<ul><li>Author: Tom McCoy</li>
<li>Status: Resolved</li>
<li>Priority: Normal</li>
<li>Assignee: Biopython Dev Mailing List</li>

<p>"Either a single UID or a comma-delimited list of UIDs may be provided. All of the UIDs must be from the database specified by db. There is no set maximum for the number of UIDs that can be passed to EFetch, <strong>but if more than about 200 UIDs are to be provided, the request should be made using the HTTP POST method</strong>." <br />-- <a class="external" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25499/#chapter4.EFetch">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25499/#chapter4.EFetch</a></p>
<p>Entrez.efetch uses this API endpoint via GET regardless of the number of UIDs supplied. The attached patch corrects this behavior.</p>
