error in get_currency about rbcb HOT 4 CLOSED

The problem relies on the URL

http://www4.bcb.gov.br/Download/fechamento/M%s.csv

Used inside the function get_valid_currency_list

This URL is completely inaccessible, as I can see with PS Test-NetConnection.

There is a new API to get access to currency data. I will try, in the next days, to port rbcb to this new API.
For now, all we have to do is wait for BCB to reconnect its servers.

from rbcb.

Exemples:

t_1y = '2020-07-01'
t = '2021-07-01'

brl_usd <- get_currency('USD', t_1y, t) %>%
select(-bid) %>%
rename(brl_usd = 2)

brl_eur <- get_currency('EUR', t_1y, t) %>%
select(-bid) %>%
rename(brl_eur= 2)

brl_gbp <- get_currency('GBP', t_1y, t) %>%
select(-bid) %>%
rename(brl_libra = 2)

brl_cny <- get_currency('CNY', t_1y , t) %>%
select(-bid) %>%
rename(brl_cny = 2)

from rbcb.

With reprex:

library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
library(rbcb)

t_1y = '2020-07-01'
t = '2021-07-01'

brl_usd <- get_currency('USD', t_1y, t) %>%
  select(-bid) %>%
  rename(brl_usd = 2)
#> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Recv failure: Connection was reset

brl_eur <- get_currency('EUR', t_1y, t) %>%
  select(-bid) %>%
  rename(brl_eur= 2)
#> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Recv failure: Connection was reset

brl_gbp <- get_currency('GBP', t_1y, t) %>%
  select(-bid) %>%
  rename(brl_libra = 2)
#> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Recv failure: Connection was reset

brl_cny <- get_currency('CNY', t_1y , t) %>%
  select(-bid) %>%
  rename(brl_cny = 2)
#> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Recv failure: Connection was reset

It seems the problem happens in rbcb:::http_getter().
