Closed tjxie closed 7 years ago

Dear Christopher,

I tried to retrieve the metadata of the series but failed. Do you know how to solve the problem? Thank you.

imf_metadata('IFS', 'FASMBC_XDC', country = "all", start = 2000,
              end = current_year(), return_raw = FALSE)

Thanks for reporting this @tjxie . There appears to be some issue over on the IMF's side with their API. I contacted them via email and will let you know if I hear anything back.
