Martinique / MTQ is missing from wbdata

[Bojangels]

A query using wbdata does not return data, despite it being available on the WB website. For example, compare:

https://databank.worldbank.org/reports.aspx?source=worldwide-governance-indicators#`

With the following script:

import wbdata

data_dates = (datetime.datetime(2019,1,1), datetime.datetime(2019,1,1))

MTQ_missing = wbdata.get_dataframe({'PV.EST':'values'},
country=('MTQ'), data_date=data_dates, convert_date=False, keep_levels=True)

Which returns:

---

IndexError Traceback (most recent call last)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wbdata/fetcher.py in fetch(url, args, cache)
123 try:
--> 124 results.extend(response[1])
125 this_page = response[0]["page"]

IndexError: list index out of range

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

This is apparently an error upstream. http://api.worldbank.org/v2/country/MTQ gives the same error. Unfortunately, that means I can't do anything about it.

[Bojangels]

I see. Thank you for clarifying. It's an odd upstream error because you can still view Martinqiue here: https://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/Home/Reports and here https://databank.worldbank.org/reports.aspx?source=worldwide-governance-indicators#%60 (andeven export the data as MTQ). Appreciate your work!
