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](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](https://git.nomics.world/dbnomics-fetchers/management/-/issues/967)) 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/](http://dataservices.imf.org/REST/SDMX_JSON.svc/CompactData/) Please let us know when/if the issue gets resolved. ---
