Clicking on the link shows that the World Bank does not serve the data in question. This either means (a) the indicator code you entered is not valid, or (b) the World Bank does not currently (or ever) supply the given code over the web API. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be solved by the R package. |
Can you explain the behavior of API in 2 and 3 !!!!! |
I sent an email to WB, and they replied back: So what is the possibility of editing WDI::WDI, so start and end parameters can accept NUL????? |
WDI(indicator="GE.EST", start=1996) |
FYI, I just sent this support request to the WB:

Thanks a lot for your support, you do not need to discontinue your package. Just need to mention this problem in the help dictionary of your function. it's WB's problem not your code. |
Thanks. Just trying to blackmail the WB into doing something ;) |

Hi, I just ran |
Hi...
This code grabs data correctly
WDI::WDI(country = "all", indicator = c("GE.EST", "RQ.EST"),
start = 2000, end = 2020)
However when i change the start year, i receive an error.
WDI::WDI(country = "all", indicator = c("GE.EST", "RQ.EST"),
start = 1990, end = 2020)
None of the indicators your requested could be downloaded. Please verify the arguments of the
WDI()
function. You can also type a URL of this form in your browser to check if the World Bank web API is currently serving the indicator(s) of interest: https://api.worldbank.org/v2/country/all/indicator/GE.EST?format=json&date=1960:2020&per_page=32500&page=1Please note that the data before 1996 is not available (https://databank.worldbank.org/reports.aspx?source=1181&series=GE.EST)
