hmd.mx import data doesn't seem to function even though I changed username and password #47

Closed HassAG closed 2 years ago

HassAG commented 2 years ago

the following code gives this error

hmd.mx(country = "JPN", username = "*********",password = "*******", label = "Japan") 

#####Error in hmd.mx(country = "JPN", username = "*********", password = "*******!",  : 
  Connection error at www.mortality.org. Please check username, password and country label.#####

Since Hmd have changed their interface website, I had to check-in with a new password but I still can't import data from there using hmd.mx

You need to update your package to the github version, and use your old username and password. We will update the package to the new HMD when they release their API.

I have the same issue. You did not update, did you?

Did you solve the issue?

I'm trying to solve... I wrote this: path<-paste("https://www.mortality.org/Country/Country?cntr=",count,sep="") userpwd <- paste(username, ":", password, sep = "") txt <- RCurl::getURL(path, userpwd = userpwd) path2<-paste("https://www.mortality.org/File/GetDocument/hmd.v6/",count,"/STATS/Deaths_1x1.txt",sep="") con=url(path2,open="r")

this the connection: A connection with

description "https://www.mortality.org/File/GetDocument/hmd.v6/ITA/STATS/Deaths_1x1.txt" class "url-libcurl"
mode "r"
text "text"
opened "opened"
can read "yes"
can write "no"

Then I have error, I am not able to go on...

You need to use former.mortality.org instead of www.mortality.org. The current github version of the package is working. Here is the change that fixed the problem: https://github.com/robjhyndman/demography/commit/a139db76217779f77e34ae1ce3fc8cfb60635b83
