getCountrylist webservice

ram — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:29:28 GMT

http://comtrade.un.org/ws/refs/getCountryList.aspx

The country list (XML Output) from above URL contains Countries and Country groups (or) Regions.

Q’s:

- Why is the above URL returning both Countries and Country groups (or) regions? It should return the countries only.

- Is there any webservice to get the country list by excluding the groups (or) regions?

- Is there a flag in the XML output (from the above URL) to determine the group (or) region?

- Can we pass any parameter to the above URL to filter the Countries?

Someone MAY want to remove this person from the site...

Comtrade Menu

mak — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:01:57 GMT

Sorry, this question might sound stupid - but about several days ago, I realized that the top menu (where it says my account, data query, ...) no longer works with my Internet Explorer 6 (it used to work about a month ago). I just updated my java today to the latest version, and don't have any pop up blockers on. I have enabled my activeX, etc. but still it doesn't work - when I try to click on data query, for example, it will not let me see the pull down menu. I tried using Opera and have the same problem.

I couldn't find out what system/ software requirements are needed to use your site. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Basic Query Problem (Reporters List; Years)

MariaB — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 09:16:37 GMT

For the last two weeks I've been having problems with the Basic Query - on different computers. When trying to access the Reporters and Years lists no selection options appear, the lists remain empty. So it is not possible to select reporters and years and therefore I can't file a query. What could be the problem?

I tried to run the following web query to get all the uploaded dates for Bangladesh 2004 data after 2004 Jan, but all I got was Jan 2007 as a result.

Cambio en los enlaces de la información en RSS

JavierPi — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 19:55:20 GMT

Tal como indica Markie respecto de la re-organización de servidores, los enlaces que se indican en la información provista por RSS también cambió.

El día 22 de Noviembre los sistemas que tenemos para leer esa fuenta de información dejaron de funcionar ya que esperaban obtener otra URL dentro de la información en RSS.
