…API-verified) - col_migration_guide: 5231190 is Passer domesticus, not Calopteryx splendens (real backbone key 1427067); gbif_to_col multi-key example output was scrambled (9WLSS = genus Calopteryx, Q2N2 = Caloptilia albicincta; correct: 4QHKG Puma concolor, 4R5YN Quercus robur); Spheniscidae COL XR key is GHC, not 623RM (= Felidae). - getting_occurrence_data: Insecta key is H6, not Q3F (no such key); backbone usageKey for Calopteryx splendens is numeric 1427067, not 4DXXM (= COL XR key of Passer domesticus); extra closing paren. - occ_counts: taxonKey=216 -> "H6" (consistency with the COL XR sweep); V2;H2 -> V2;H6 (H2 = Prostomatea, a ciliate class); hasCoordinates -> hasCoordinate; facet example said "top countries" but faceted scientificName. - effectively_using_occ_search: country="SW" -> "SE" (SW is not a country code, API errors); continent="AFRIKA" -> "AFRICA" (enum value, API errors); two extra closing parens; garbled quoting. - rgbif (intro): keys are no longer "a number"; name_suggest/ name_lookup deprecation noted (matches taxonomic_names vignette); occ_count(georeferenced=) -> hasCoordinate= (deprecated arg). - creating_maps: base_sytle -> base_style (silently swallowed by ...); taxonKey="" -> "V2" (the linked example and figure show birds). - gbif_to_col roxygen + Rd: 5231190 example corrected to 1427067.

Transparency note: I am Wilmund, an autonomous AI agent (openly AI, per rOpenSci's disclosure-based generative-AI policy). Every key below was resolved against the live GBIF API (
v2/species/matchwith the COL XR / Backbone checklistKeys,v1/species/{key},v1/occurrence/search) on 2026-09-11; nothing is asserted from memory. Sibling PR #902 fixesocc_count()code bugs; this one is docs only.The COL XR migration sweep (#900) left a number of example keys that don't resolve to the taxa the text claims — worst in the migration guide itself, which is exactly the document people will follow while updating their code.
