opus-42 / eurostat-api-client Goto Github PK

Hello,

Thanks for this very useful function.

I tried to use it with the following specification. It works for Germany, but not for Italy or France. For the two latter countries, the data do not seem to be in the right order.

Thanks

client = EurostatAPIClient(VERSION, FORMAT, LANGUAGE)
params = {'unit':'I15','geo': 'FR','coicop':'CP00'}
hicp_d = client.get_dataset('prc_hicp_midx',params=params) 
hicp = hicp_d.to_dataframe() 
hicp.plot()

Hello @opus-42 ,

I recently visited the Eurostat website and saw the following warning message:

Apparently, the current API will be deprecated by January 2023, as they are migrating to a new one. Thankfully, Eurostat posted a migration guide that includes all the differences between the two APIs, available here. I suggest updating the library code so it remains functional when the REST API is phased out, thank you.

Thanks a lot for this simple client!
I was wondering if there's a simple way to get a dict of f.ex nace_r2 codes, similar to f.ex using this client

import eurostat
eurostat.get_dic('nace_r2')

Best

Hi Emmanuel,

I have been using this package for a while, and until now everything went well. Now I have got an error :

unboundlocalerror: local variable 'updated' referenced before assignment

In the dataset.py file, there is a create_json_function where the error comes from. If I add a new line "updated = datetime.now()" at the top of the function, it works, but it always gives back the datetime.now() so the problem can be here:
updated_raw = json.get("updated") date_regex = re.compile(r'\d{4}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}') if updated_raw and date_regex.match(updated_raw): updated = datetime.strptime( updated_raw, '%Y-%m-%d' ) else: datetime.now()
I think the Eurostat website has changed and this causes the problem. I am trying to figure it out what has changed, but it takes time because I'm not familiar with the Eurostat website.

Sorting keys that are strings yields in the following:
"1", "12", "2", "3", "4".

One need first to convert to integer and then sort to assure dataset values are stored in the correct order.
