pep apis connection error #30

Closed k-pthomas closed 6 years ago

k-pthomas commented 6 years ago

For most of the apis I can get the list of variables, geography, etc. However, for "pep" apis I get a connection error.

listCensusMetadata(name="pep/subcty", type = "variables") Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 404

Is there a way of fixing this?

Thank you!

Just seeing this now, it looks like you found a solution?

The pep endpoints require a vintage (data year), it works when including vintage: listCensusMetadata(name = "pep/cty", type = "variables", vintage = 2014)

I did. Unfortunately I can't delete the thread. But Thank you,
