Missing a vast chunk of MONTHLY frequency series on the IMF Consumer Price Index database (CPI) [CPI]

Hi.

First: thank you for developing this fantastic tool called dbnomics!

I noticed that within the last couple of months, a very large chunk of the MONTHLY frequency series on the IMF Consumer Price Index (CPI) [CPI*] have ‘disappeared’…

…Are the above missing series discontinued at the source? or is there a problem with dbnomics fetchers? or?

Would be great to know the answer to this if anyone can follow up.
Regards,

*Note: To be precise : https://db.nomics.world/IMF/CPI

Hello @Nicolas_Bourbaki,

Thanks for noticing this issue. We are currently looking at it (Some IMF datasets contain no data (#967) · Issues · dbnomics-fetchers / management · GitLab) and will come back to you when it is solved.

Have a good day,

Enzo

Thank you enzo
Looks like things got worse since my original query…, the entire IMF CPI dataset is down-and-out (empty) via DBnomics. The last IMF database maintenance-update did something your fetcher did not like. IMF is ‘correctly’ serving all the data via http://dataservices.imf.org/REST/SDMX_JSON.svc/CompactData/
Please let us know when/if the issue gets resolved.

We are aware of this problem and are working on it.

The link that you sent me is ‘not found’. Can you send me the correct one?

Thank you,
