Guys, do you know starting what version of PX Web the API functionality was implemented?
for exporting data , not for importing

I hope it is.

I have studied PX web based databanks of national statistics office
and from 20 of them, only 2 had the JSON availability
We want to built interactive data visualisations apps
and I will advise to the offices to upgrade the PX web
for having API/JSON
we previously created genderpulse.com
that is pumping data from a statistical data bank based on PX WEB
sorry for flooding :)

Ok. You know this is not the official PXWEB gitter, right? This is the pxweb r package.
Geo
@geolupascu
I did understood that
but this was the only public connection to a px-web anyhow involved team
anyway it is good to see that things are going on, I will do an official request about new releases
Jan Bruusgaard
@janbrus
As far as I know 2019 will be backward compatible. I am not sure what Geo mean here "only 2 had the JSON availability". In PX-web there are two JSON output formats. JSON-stat is the format that is best suited for statstics.

@MansMeg
Thats great, I saw something about a version 2 API that did not look very back-compatible to me. But that may be a later version.
Jan Bruusgaard
@janbrus
Version 2 of the API is not part of 2019 Pxweb, and is not backwards compatible. As I understand the plan, PxWeb will have the possibility to offer both version 1 and 2 at the same time.
Jan Bruusgaard
@janbrus
Px-web 2019 is now released by SCB, but then it is up to each agency to upgrade to the new version.

Hi Måns
Måns Magnusson
@MansMeg
H!
Leo Lahti
@antagomir
Hi!
OK I managed to sync master and overleaf.

Måns Magnusson
@MansMeg
Cool!
Leo Lahti
@antagomir
Now the file that you should modify is magnusson-kainu-lahti.tex
(./paper/ dir)
Now paper/README.md tells how this converts to PDF
there are other ways too of course.
I may also work on overleaf now as we got this working but let us do regular pushes to github in order to keep things in sync
I am talking to Markus about his schedules, otherwise I think the plan is pretty clear.
You should add PO Box info in the affiliation, I think this was required by the journals.
Måns Magnusson
@MansMeg
Ok. So I think I can try to sync from Overleaf, when I write there.
Or do you want me to not use overleaf at all?
I was thinking of creating a template that is compiled that uses input to add the current latex file? That should work? Right?
Leo Lahti
@antagomir
now it works, I also like and use overleaf, we can use that if you prefer
problem was just the syncing
Måns Magnusson
@MansMeg
Ah ok!
So what file do you compile?
Leo Lahti
@antagomir
wait i have a call
Måns Magnusson
@MansMeg
Cool. I just compile the RJwrapper and it works. When you have had your call we can discuss the paper bullet points.
Leo Lahti
@antagomir
Ok great
Yes RJwrapper.
Måns Magnusson
@MansMeg
So I have fixed it now. So it compiles when you work with the latex file. So I made some smaller changes in the disposition.
Leo Lahti
@antagomir
Shall I call now?
Måns Magnusson
@MansMeg
Gimme a minute
now
Leo Lahti
@antagomir
sorry.. in fact I can't hear properly
shall we call later when you're not in the train. can be also tomorrow, or next week, whatever works best
Måns Magnusson
@MansMeg
Sure. You could also add comments in overleaf or in Latex to give your thoughts on the bullets. If something is missing.
