Some SRA accession numbers don't work. about enabrowsertools HOT 2 CLOSED

This also seems to be the case with EMBL / FASTA files. For example

python3 enaBrowserTools/python3/enaDataGet.py -f embl -exp -d GCA_004875785.1 GCA_004875785.1
Checking availability of https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/api/embl/GCA_004875785.1
ERROR: Record does not exist or is not available for accession provided

Should be able to obtain the fasta or embl file from that virus. The ENA page of GCA_004875785.1 also mentions that a contig is available with identifier JF974300.1 but accessing that directly also results in an issue

python3 enaBrowserTools/python3/enaDataGet.py -f embl -exp -d JF974300.1 JF974300.1          
Checking availability of https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/api/embl/JF974300.1
Error downloading read record: HTTP Error 400: 
Unable to fetch file for JF974300.1, format embl
Completed

Attempting to download the fasta file also does not work

python3 enaBrowserTools/python3/enaDataGet.py -f fasta -exp -d JF974300.1 JF974300.1
Checking availability of https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/api/fasta/JF974300.1
Error downloading read record: HTTP Error 400:

Small update, from my home IP address I am able to receive the data but not from the university's server. This resulted in a git checkout and locally where it was working I was under v.1.5.2 while on the server I was using the latest commit. Perhaps this could work for you @rpolicastro

For anyone that may be having the same problem, I found in their code that they are checking for accession numbers with a maximum of 7 digits. However, newer entries can have at least 8 digits. I've initiated a pull request to fix this problem.
