Hi Allin

As you sugested I raised again the the problem with getting transferred to many data by using v22.
Meanwile the team of dbnomics have changed  the api a with a limitation for metadata as you can see in the forum

https://forum.db.nomics.world/t/dbnomics-api-v22-released/204

As I understand this matter  to use this limitation in gretl the extension for dbnomics must be changed?
Can you have a look to this?

Regards,
Klaus

Interesting question. 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.
