Core datasets broken sources

[PhilippeduPreez]

Created by: @Branko-Dj

Some of the core datasets have a source that is not working anymore. As a PM I want to find alternative up to date sources

Analysis

1. cofog

Source for process.py script on line 20 access_db_zip_url = 'http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/regdntransfer.asp?f=186' is broken.

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] We have the new source for each of the datasets where the source is broken or missing

Tasks

• [ ] Research and replace the broken or missing sources for the following datasets

@gradedSystem I know you are working on updating core datasets so could you please check the list here and check items you have fixed please.

[gradedSystem]

@anuveyatsu sure going to look into that

[gradedSystem]

@anuveyatsu should i try changing the codebase and scripts if the source is not working just as we did in core datasets?

[anuveyatsu]

@gradedSystem no, could you just go through the list of items in this issue and see if you have already fixed any of them as part of your ongoing work?

[gradedSystem]

@anuveyatsu I don't think any of them are fixed as part of my ongoing work
