TOLid add

[molikd]

We should check if the TOL id actually exists for the validator:

import requests

def get_matching_line(url, match_string):
    # Download the file from the URL
    response = requests.get(url)
    response.raise_for_status()  # Ensure the request was successful
    
    # Split the content into lines
    lines = response.text.splitlines()
    
    for line in lines:
        # Split the line into columns (assuming tab-delimited)
        columns = line.split('\t')
        # Check if the first column matches the input string
        if columns[0] == match_string:
            return line  # Return the whole line if a match is found
    
    return None  # Return None if no match is found

# URL of the file
url = "https://gitlab.com/wtsi-grit/darwin-tree-of-life-sample-naming/-/raw/master/tolids.txt?ref_type=heads"
match_string = "desired_value"  # Replace with the value you're looking for

# Get the matching line
result = get_matching_line(url, match_string)

if result:
    print("Matching line:", result)
else:
    print("No match found.")

This comes out of a place where the TOLids are stored online: https://gitlab.com/wtsi-grit/darwin-tree-of-life-sample-naming/-/raw/master/tolids.txt?ref_type=heads in a text file so it shouldn't be to hard to check if the first part of the name is valid.

alternatively, we could add the master list into our repo and check internally.
