I got an error from bioservices when it was running the cazy_webscraper application. I opened an issue there.

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/bioservices/uniprot.py", line 744, in search
    batch = batch.split("\n")[1:]
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'split'` 

The error arose when I tried to get some data from UniProt. It seems that batch = self.services.http_get(link, frmt="txt") returns an integer instead of a string. When I forced the process with str(batch), I got a warning message, but I could have access to the data.

WARNING [bioservices.UniProt:596]:  status is not ok with Forbidden 

However, it was not a good practice, which led me to come and check this issue. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
