Out of date API?

I'm having trouble pulling data from TM with the getFAOtoSYB(). I run the following search to get the appropriate TM codes:

FAOsearch() # 2; 3; 0; All; 4

I then pass the results to the getFAOtoSYB function:

getFAOtoSYB(query = .LastSearch)

I end up with the following errors:

getFAOtoSYB(query = .LastSearch)

See Filippo's commend in issue #23

I updated this gist which provides two functions

1. download_faostat_bulk loads zip files from the FAOSTAT bulk download
2. read_faostat_bulk reads the data in data frames.
