How to get taxonomic rank and habitat by species id?

Dear Fishbase API people, The service "species by id" (https://fishbaseapi.readme.io/docs/species-by-id) does not return information about taxonomic rank and habitats. Conversely, service "taxa" does return this information, but for all species at once. How can I get this information for a given species id? Thanks in advance for your help and advice. Franck.

Impossible to scroll down API routes

Hi again, Just a usability issue on the Fishbase API documentation (https://fishbaseapi.readme.io/v1.0/docs). The list of API routes on the left side of the page s quite long and does not fit in a single page. The problem is that, either using Chrome or Firefox, I cannot scroll down this list. I have to scroll down the central part of the page through all the service descriptions to get to the one I'm looking for. No big deal, but not very practical though. Thx, Franck.

“Try it out” returns error 500

Hi, The “Try it out” tool does not work at the moment for at least the services species-by-id and synonyms: it returns an error 500. e.g. try species-by-id with id 4875. Yet, the services themselves seem to be working fine e.g. https://fishbase.ropensci.org/species/4875/. Regards, Franck.
