Documentation example broken

[alaindebecker]

Your doc example for writing ETL jobs uses a link to FABLABS_API_URL = 'https://public-us.opendatasoft.com/api/records/1.0/search/?dataset=fablabs&rows=1000' which seams to be broken.

Hi,

I’m working at Opendatasoft, and the dataset linked in the doc was indeed deprecated and removed, making the link of the tutorial broken.

I can suggest to replace the example with the following link: https://public.opendatasoft.com/api/records/1.0/search/?dataset=geonames-country&rows=1000 (it’s a dataset on countries, about 200 records); it should work like the previous example, since the API structure is identical for every dataset.

Please let me know if I can be of any help to help fix the problem.

@cblsr Thanks for the update. The new link you gave results in

{ "error": "Unknown dataset: geonames-country" }

Could you suggest another?

hello @maxslimmer,
Indeed I forgot that I gave out the link here; and in the meantime we deprecated this other dataset as well… it has been replaced by this one: https://public.opendatasoft.com/api/records/1.0/search/?dataset=georef-world-country that we are planning to keep in the foreseeable future!
Sorry for the inconvenience, and don’t hesitate to ask if you have any question related to this dataset or other provided by Opendatasoft.
