Does EIA transition to API 2.0.1 present a code risk? #18

Closed sawyervillers closed 2 years ago

The EIA is transitioning to a new RESTful architecture in November2022. I'm curious if this will break or cause problems with the EIAdata package.

What spurred this question is that I've been getting the following error lately. It's hit or miss when querying the EIA, and I'm not sure if it's a server issue or something with the code.

Great question @sawyervillers. Under APIv1 Availability it says:

As of early 2022, EIA will maintain support for its legacy API (APIv1). Many applications may have been written to the APIv1 specification, and EIA have no immediate plans to close that platform.

So it looks like v1 will continue to be maintained and no changes need to be made to the EIAdata package (for now).

Note the error you are getting in the second post is almost certainly server side, but if it persists you can open a separate issue and I'll try and track it down.
