error in get_currency

[gabBelle]

whenever I try to use the function get_currency all I can get is:

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : Recv failure: Connection was reset

Exemples:

t_1y = '2020-07-01' t = '2021-07-01'

brl_usd <- get_currency('USD', t_1y, t) %>% select(-bid) %>% rename(brl_usd = 2)

brl_eur <- get_currency('EUR', t_1y, t) %>% select(-bid) %>% rename(brl_eur= 2)

brl_gbp <- get_currency('GBP', t_1y, t) %>% select(-bid) %>% rename(brl_libra = 2)

brl_cny <- get_currency('CNY', t_1y , t) %>% select(-bid) %>% rename(brl_cny = 2)

With reprex:

library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
library(rbcb)

t_1y = '2020-07-01'
t = '2021-07-01'

brl_usd <- get_currency('USD', t_1y, t) %>%
  select(-bid) %>%
  rename(brl_usd = 2)
#> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Recv failure: Connection was reset

brl_eur <- get_currency('EUR', t_1y, t) %>%
  select(-bid) %>%
  rename(brl_eur= 2)
#> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Recv failure: Connection was reset

brl_gbp <- get_currency('GBP', t_1y, t) %>%
  select(-bid) %>%
  rename(brl_libra = 2)
#> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Recv failure: Connection was reset

brl_cny <- get_currency('CNY', t_1y , t) %>%
  select(-bid) %>%
  rename(brl_cny = 2)
#> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Recv failure: Connection was reset

It seems the problem happens in rbcb:::http_getter().

[wilsonfreitas]

The problem relies on the URL

http://www4.bcb.gov.br/Download/fechamento/M%s.csv

Used inside the function get_valid_currency_list

This URL is completely inaccessible, as I can see with PS Test-NetConnection.

There is a new API to get access to currency data. I will try, in the next days, to port rbcb to this new API. For now, all we have to do is wait for BCB to reconnect its servers.
