Overview Data for United Kingdom is Not Working
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Something seems to have changed in the API (from April/May 2022?). The following filters no longer work:
areaType="overview";areaName="United+Kingdom";
but give the error:
{
"response": "Query parameter 'areaNam' (areaNam e) is invalid. Did you mean 'areaName'?",
"status_code": 400,
"status": "Bad request"
}
It I remove the quotes from filter and replace the "+" with a Space, with this filter:
areaName=United%20Kingdom;areaType=overview
It returns 204, No Content.
Queries to other areaNames with other areaTypes work OK:
If I try a nation (England) instead of the UK with this filter:
?filters=areaName="England";areaType="nation"
It also returns error 400 ("Query parameter" is wrong)
But if I remove the quotes from the filter:
?filters=areaName=England;areaType=nation
Everything works as expected.
Something appears to have changed on the server side that is processing the filter in the URL? Can you investigate pls?
United Kingdom overview data is available up to May 20th 2022, then it breaks. From then onwards, only nation data (England, Wales, Scotland) seems to work.
Can see the same ... UK is basically stack on May 20th 2022 and no updates since.
This is an issue with the data not the service - UK data for many metrics ceased on 20 May 2022 when Northern Ireland's data reporting stopped.
