    $\begingroup$ I receive no errors and your code works fine on my computer (MMA 10.2, Win7-64). If the problem persists on your end, you could also try using Import directly: Import["http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=protein&id=8&rettype=xml", "XML"] which seems to produce the same results. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 14, 2015 at 13:43
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks Marco. It's strange, I am getting the same error. I actually made a little mistake in what I copy/pasted to you, it should be retmode instead of rettype: In[171]:= Import["eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/… During evaluation of In[171]:= XMLParserXMLGet::prserr: MalformedURLException: The URL used an unsupported protocol at Line: 2 Character: 99 in /var/folders/ll/cl5jhpqx40s__jv4_blwsq5h0000gn/T/m000009227691/efetch.fcgi. >> During evaluation of In[171]:= Import::fmterr: Cannot import data as XML format. >> $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 14, 2015 at 14:37
