This package gives the possibility of downloading DB.nomics series in Matlab or Octave.
DB.nomics <https://db.nomics.world/>_ is a database of international macroeconomic data collected on public web servers of statistical offices worldwide.
Please ask your questions to the DB.nomics forum <https://forum.db.nomics.world/>_.
After downloading, you need to add this package to your Matlab or Octave path
The package uses the JSON parser from https://github.com/christianpanton/matlab-json.git as a MEX file.
We add the MEX files for Windows in ./bin. If you use Linux or OS/X, you need to download the matlab-json package from the above URL, compile it and install it in ./bin
This package provides the following
- retrieving a series by key:
s = get_series_by_key(provider,dataset_code,key). The series is returned in a Matlab structure:- s.name: (string) series name
- s.key: (string) series key
- s.dimension: (structure) dimensions of the series
- s.start_date: (structure) starting date
- s.start_date.year: year
- s.start_date.sub: number of subperiod ('A' 0, 'Q' 0:3, 'M' 0:11)
- s.start_date.freq: infra-annual frequency ('A': 1, 'Q': 4, 'M' 12)
- s.values: ([double]) values
Currently, the package supports only annual, quarterly and monthly data.
