IMF data - Accessing data from the website
Hi,
I am trying to access primary commodity data directly from the IMF website. The snapdhot below shows the data. Using the 'Share', I get the direct link "http://data.imf.org/?sk=87968a8a-2352-4f6e-be0b-36efa483a05c".
When I use the address in 'Get Data' then "WEB" using above direct link, I get the following:
Expanding the "Data" column, gives me this which is not helping .
Please help, how I can bring this data into BI.
I did read that IMF has its API and SMDX but I am not sure how to approch those methods.
The site uses Services.AXD (ASP.NET handler), so in short. No you can't directly load from the link you provided.
From what I see, IMF has API, so use that to obtain the info you are after.
