How to retrieve large among of fasta file from NCBI by GIDs

Question

[yhuang690]

I just got a list of GIDs and want to retrieve fasta files from NCBI based on the GIDs, I tried to use Batch Entrez to retrieve, but a error message pop up saying "cannot find records for the serval Ids" and then listed all the GIDs that in my uploaded file, I just confused why I can't retrieve fasta file successfully. Or are there any better way to retrieve large among of fasta files from NCBI base on GID?

Looks like most of those ID's are not currently alive. Can you share where these ID's came from?

Edit: As I suspected these are retired records. You can see one of them here, 218693483 and another one 22218693484 .
