getdata command EUROSTAT

[Mads Oernfeldt]

Dear all,
Do someone have experience with the command getdata?

My wish is to import data from EUROSTAT (see link in the bottom) in long form. I have hope that the getdata command could help me, but I get an error on everything I true.

So far I come to the following:
getdata cs EUROSTAT, r(demo_r_mweek3/W.NR.T.) g(GEO country) clear

I would potentially have it for all weeks, in numbers, and all regions.

Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

My guess is that the software is outdated for Stata. You should probably use the SDMX connector for R or Excel. My guess is based on a quick test of the software for Stata. The last officiel update on SSC is from 2016.
In R, I could not get your demo request working, but others work fine. There is a newer version for Stata available https://github.com/amattioc/SDMX/releases "statasdmx.tar.gz", but I did not manage yet to get it working.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use getdata code for downloading data from OECD. I read about "getdata code" from stata help. But the code below didn't work at all.


[getdata structure provider, rest(restcode) [geo(s1 [s2]) time(s1 [s2]) isocountrycodes(codetype) start(starttime) end(endtime) merge(1:1|1:m|m:1|m:m) replace update frequency(frequency) datemask(mask) varname(varname) set clear]

Could you help me, please?
