Hello, if anyone can help me out on this error when importing oraclizeAPI , very much appreciated! the Remix version :Current version:0.4.19-nightly.2017.11.30+commit.f5a2508e.Emscripten.clang

pragma solidity ^0.4.19; import "github.com/oraclize/ethereum-api/oraclizeAPI.sol";

Hello,

The current oraclizeAPI.sol now targets solc 0.5, and that is why you are getting that error.

We still do support 0.4.x solc, but you will need to explicitly import one of those versions now. Seeing your pragma, you should use oraclizeAPI_0.4.sol. What this entails is replacing your current import statement from:

import "github.com/oraclize/ethereum-api/oraclizeAPI.sol";

to

import "github.com/oraclize/ethereum-api/oraclizeAPI_0.4.sol";

Or use the 0.4.25 version if targetting 0.4.22 solc or above (as per the API mentions).

Tomorrow, we'll see to add a 0.4.18 targetted version as well, which would seem to fit your pragma best.

the api has been updated to give a more clear indicator of why the error is happening, mentioning incompatible solc now, since https://github.com/oraclize/ethereum-api/commit/37ed083a2f795dcf3f7f5c89206937a61902ffe6 and telling user to import 0.4 instead.

I assume this has been solved for you, reopen if needed.
