imfr::imf_ids() does not list the World Economic Outlook (WEO), only the Western Hemisphere Regional Economic Outlook (WHDREO)

imfr::imf_ids() does not seem to list all IMF databases, is there a particular reason for that?

Thank you

imfr::imf_ids() gets and parses the results from this URL: http://dataservices.imf.org/REST/SDMX_JSON.svc/Dataflow

according to this page, that is the proper URL to get "the list of the datasets, registered for the Data Service.": https://datahelp.imf.org/knowledgebase/articles/667681-json-restful-web-service

Thank you @cjyetman , so the problem must be on the IMF side... I will try to find a way to contact them.
