Description

Hi,

I am trying to use the IMFR package to get data. Following are the codes for the data that I am trying to access,

dt1<-imf_data(database_id = "IRFCL",indicator = "RAFAO_USD", freq = 'M', country = "all", start = "1995", end = current_year())
dt2<-imf_data(database_id = "IRFCL",indicator = "RAFAFX_USD", freq = 'M', country = "all", start = "1995", end = current_year())

The problem is that for a country like Great Britain (GB), for the month of May 2008, I am gettting 9 values for one indicator and there are two different set of values. (This is the case with numerous country)

Please help me resolve this.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the imf_data calls for the IRFCL database, both indicators, and the GB May 2008 case. Inspect the returned records and the IMF REST API response structure to determine why multiple values occur; done means explaining the duplicate sets and documenting a consistent resolution.
