Summary: Occurrence Inventories API doesn't support taxonKey
Priority: Critical

Description: The occurrence inventory service wrongly uses the parameter nubKey instead of the documented taxonKey:
http://www.gbif.org/developer/occurrence#inventories

http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/counts/datasets?taxonKey=6
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/counts/datasets?nubKey=6

The metrics project should be modified to use the taxonKey parameter while keeping the nubKey param as an alias to provide backwards compatability

Stupid enough the parameter is called "nubKey" in the webservice:
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/counts/datasets?nubKey=6

We should change the service (not the docs) to use taxonKey as everywhere else

But only one of the 2 parameters, country or taxonKey is supported. Supplying both will result in an illegal arg exception:
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/counts/datasets?nubKey=6&country=BR

That should be documented in the developer docs

Looks like the taxonKey parameter is broken?
