wb.download function does not work with data from Findex

Open julierozz opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

The wb.search() function returns all the variables from the Findex database, but the wb.download() function returns an error. For example, “Saved at a financial institution, income, poorest 40% (% age 15+)” is called 'fin17a.t.a.7' but wb.download('fin17a.t.a.7') returns “ValueError: No indicators returned data.”. This happens for all the Findex variables, even though I checked and the data is available on the World Bank website. Any idea where this is coming from?

Is this a PDR error? Please provide minimal code snippet to reproduce.
