No city level data for Italy after 2021-03-25 #178

Closed drs81 closed 2 years ago

drs81 commented 2 years ago

When I request city level data for Italy, the most recent date available seems to be 25 March 2021. I wondered if there might be a reason for this? I am using v. 2.3.2 which I believe is the current version of the package.

test<-covid19(country = "Italy", level = 3,raw = FALSE) range(test$date) [1] "2020-01-01" "2021-03-25"

Thank you!

Hi @drs81, thanks for posting your message here! We stopped providing the preprocessed data (raw=FALSE) on April 2021 as described here. Please use raw=TRUE or just drop it as it is the default in v2.3.2. The following should work:

test <- covid19(country = "Italy", level = 3)
range(test$date)

It may take some time as the data file is quite large to download. Hope this helps!

Thanks very much Emanuele, that's very helpful!

Apologies Emanuele, I just noticed that I am now suddenly getting this error which I am confused about... test <- covid19(country = "Italy", level = 3) Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

(N.B. the function does appear to be working OK if I specify the level argument as either 1 or 2 though).

Hi @drs81, thanks for reporting this. I am not able to reproduce the issue. It seems to work fine also for level 3 at the moment. Maybe it was a temporary issue. Would you be able to give it another try?

Thanks for the reply @eguidotti. Silly me...looks like it was just a matter of updating R :). Seems to be working fine now. Thankyou very much!
