getquandldata's Issues

Issue with get_database_info

Hi, and thanks for making a package for improving Quandl performance/ usage in R.

I am trying to use your package for the first time but am getting an error message - do you know what might be the problem?

This is an example from your own documentation. I am obviously using my own api key.

library(GetQuandlData)
library(tidyverse)

db_id <- 'RATEINF'
my_api <- MY_API_KEY'
df <- get_database_info(db_id, my_api)

This results in the following output. Do you know what might be causing this? I am trying the standard Quandl package and that seems to work well.

df <- get_database_info(db_id, my_api)
trying URL 'https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/databases/RATEINF/metadata?api_key=MY_KEY_HERE'
Content type 'application/zip' length 748 bytes
downloaded 748 bytes

Error in read_connection_(con, tempfile()) :
Evaluation error: error reading from the connection.

I am getting a similar error when using the get_Quandl_series

df <- get_Quandl_series(id_in = my_id,

•                     api_key = my_api, 
  

•                     first_date = first_date,
  

•                     last_date = last_date, 
  

•                     cache_folder = tempdir())
  

Fetching data for RATEINF/INFLATION_USA (Inflation USA)
PROBLEM: no table found for RATEINF/INFLATION_USA. Check your Quandl code at https://www.quandl.com/search
Returning 0 rows

If you have any suggestions I will be very grateful!

Best regards, Espen
