Issue with NOvember data for GEM Commodities Indicators?

[Miguel]

I'm trying to retrieve November 2011 data for the GEM Commodities
indicators using API calls like the following:

http://api.worldbank.org/countries/indicators/GOLD?per_page=1&date=2011M11

The value I'm getting is empty for all commodities:

<wb:data xmlns:wb="http://www.worldbank.org" page="1" pages="1"
per_page="1" total="1">
<wb:data>
<wb:indicator id="GOLD">Gold, $/toz, current$</wb:indicator>
<wb:country id="1W">World</wb:country>
<wb:date>2011M11</wb:date>
<wb:value/>
<wb:decimal>0</wb:decimal>
</wb:data>
</wb:data>

The same call for October 2011 data works as expected. Could you
please confirm that November 2011 data is available?

Thanks,

Miguel

Hi,

We only have data through October 2011, which is why November is
blank. This is not an error.

Thanks,

Hi Shanmugam,

Thank you for your prompt answer. I have one further question. The GEM
Commodities data has traditionally been updated with data for the
previous month on the third working day of each month (see update
schedule at http://data.worldbank.org/data-catalog/commodity-price-data
). So Nov 2011 data should have become available on Dec 5th or so. Has
the update schedule changed? If so, when do you estimate that Nov 2011
data will become available?

Thanks,
