R OECD package 未下载数据集

Question

I am facing a similar problem to what janelyuip was in this post: How to download data from OECD by using R package but the answers in that post are not working for me sadly!

I am using the OECD package, loaded from github rather than CRAN

I am able to run the example included in the CRAN documentation without any problem

df <- get_dataset("EPL_OV")

But when I do the same with any of the datasets that I actually want to download:

library (OECD)
library(tidyverse)

ANBERD_REV4 <- get_dataset("ANBERD_REV4")

BIBLIO <- get_dataset("BIBLIO")

I get the following error messages:

Error in download.file(path, destfile, method, quiet, mode, ...): download from 'https://stats.oecd.org/restsdmx/sdmx.ashx/GetData/ANBERD_REV4/all/all' failed In addition: Warning message: In download.file(path, destfile, method, quiet, mode, ...): URL 'https://stats.oecd.org/restsdmx/sdmx.ashx/GetData/ANBERD_REV4/all/all': Timeout of 60 seconds was reached

Error in download.file(path, destfile, method, quiet, mode, ...): download from 'https://stats.oecd.org/restsdmx/sdmx.ashx/GetData/BIBLIO/all/all' failed In addition: Warning message: In download.file(path, destfile, method, quiet, mode, ...): URL 'https://stats.oecd.org/restsdmx/sdmx.ashx/GetData/BIBLIO/all/all': Timeout of 60 seconds was reached

Would love some advice please!

Answer 1

In my case have solved the issue by limiting the data volume by filtering:

 ANBERD_REV4 <- get_dataset("ANBERD_REV4",
                             filter = "DEU+CHE.MA.NATCUR.DTOTAL",
                             start_time = 2012,
                             end_time = 2020,
                             pre_formatted = T)

For details on OECD data, search for your dataset at https://stats.oecd.org/ , click on Export then SDMX (XML). There you will find all possible shortcuts for the filter of your dataset.
