Uh oh, v3beta of the #Trove API doesn't seem to allow blank searches. If that's not changed a lot of my work analysing the contents of Trove will probably be impossible. Hope I'm wrong...
Phew! While spaces no longer work, you can set the q parameter to the unicode null value '%00' instead to get blank searches.
And for the `contributor` endpoint where a `q` parameter is now required you just use no value at all to get everything.
