It seems the dbnomics v21 API is still supported for now (though we don't know for how long). I've put a compatible version of dbnomics.zip at http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/dbnomics_v21/dbnomics.zip and you can try it out if you wish. One thing I've noticed: under the v21 API if you asked for actual data you mostly got actual data, with only the necessary metadata. Under the current v22 API you get a ton of metadata, whether you want it or not. I can see that slowing downloads, and it also means that our JSON parser has a lot more work to do in extracting what's wanted from the copious stream received. There was a comment on this on the dbnomics forum https://forum.db.nomics.world/t/dbnomics-api-v22-released/204/4 but nobody has made an issue of it. Perhaps we should raise the subject again.
