Latest version of Quandl uses "datatables" and not "datasets"

The latest version of the Quandl API has /datasets as the time-series data endpoint and /datatables for the tabular data endpoint. I believe tabular does everything time-series does but provides a little extra functionality that isn't required for this grafana datasource.

Is there a specific thing you need datatables for? Unless Quandl is deprecating the timeseries endpoint soon, I do not see a reason to change this to datatables.

The WIKI Quandl Code doesn't support /datatables.

Ok so I successfully added a special case for the WIKI Quandl code, but unfortunately the datatables API requires CORS. You can retrieve the WIKI data but would have to disable CORS. Let me investigate further and contact the Quandl dev team and I will get back to you soon

Hey CrazyPython,

After further investigation, the WIKI database supports the time-series endpoint so you shouldn't need any datatables endpoints.

E.g.: https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/WIKI/FB.json
