Failed to access data with wbopendata

[KarstenKohler]

Hello,

First of all, many thanks for writing this excellent package!

Having successfully used the package several times in the past, today I wasn't able to retrieve data with wbopendata. Despite having updated the package using " ssc install wbopendata, replace" and using simple requests such as "wbopendata, language(en - English) country(USA) nometadata indicator(NY.GNP.MKTP.KN) long clear", I encounter the following error:

" (1) Please check your internet connection by clicking here, if does not
work please check with your internet provider or IT support,
otherwise...
(2) Please check your access to the World Bank API by clicking here, if
does not work please check with your firewall settings or internet
provider or IT support.
(3) Please consider ajusting your Stata timeout parameters. For more
details see netio.
(4) Please consider setting Stata checksum off. set checksum
(5) Please send us an email to report this error by clicking here or

> downloadformat=CSV&HREQ=N&filetype=data"

When I click on the hyperlink under (2), a website opens that says the following:

"statusCode | 404
message | "Resource not found"
"

I wonder whether this is related to the change of Indicators API from v1 to v2 mentioned here?

I'd appreciate any attempt to resolve this problem.

Many thanks,
Karsten

Dear João,

Many thanks for looking into this so swiftly.

It does seem to be a problem related to the set-up at my end, possibly due to the firewall.

If I find a solution, I will post it here.

Best wishes,
Karsten
