Error When Using get_datasets with the OECD Package in R

Question

I’m trying to download data from the OECD database using the OECD package in R, but I’m encountering an error when I call the get_datasets() function.

Here’s what I’ve done so far: I installed the OECD package using the following command:

install.packages("OECD")

After installation, I loaded the package:

library(OECD)

When I attempt to retrieve the datasets with:

datasets <- OECD::get_datasets()

I receive the following error message:

Error in read_xml.response(httr::GET(url, ...)) : Not Found (HTTP 404)

R version: R version 4.4.1 (2024-06-14 ucrt)

Additional Information: I checked if the OECD API is currently accessible by visiting their website. I’ve also tried updating the OECD package, but the issue persists. Does anyone know how to resolve this error or if there are any known issues with the OECD API?

Thank you!
