This is not a question but rather my experience with getting dbnomics to work. Maybe others will benefit, hence I am posting.

I got an email from Stata yesterday and from it I learnt about dbnomics:
https://www.stata.com/stata-news/new...orner_dbnomics

So I installed the package using
Code:
ssc install dbnomics
It got installed with no issues.

To load the list of providers of data through dbnomics (e.g. World Bank), I did
Code:
dbnomics providers
I got
Code:
class libjson undefined
The error message is actually much longer but I am posting the relevant part. I figured it is a dependency and so I installed libjson:
Code:
ssc install libjson
After rerunning,
Code:
dbnomics providers
I then got
Code:
urlencode() is built-in
                 <istmt>:  3499  s not found
                 <istmt>:  3499  a not found
'return' found where almost anything else expected
expression invalid
Error: the package moss is required by dbnomics. Try ssc install moss
r(111);
I figured it is another dependency and so I installed moss:
Code:
ssc install moss
But it still didn't work:
Code:
urlencode() is built-in
                 <istmt>:  3499  s not found
                 <istmt>:  3499  a not found
'return' found where almost anything else expected
expression invalid
Downloading list of providers...
But nothing showed up in the Results window or the Variables window to indicate that the list of providers actually got downloaded. But in reality it did.
You have to execute the command a second time, and with the 'clear' option:
Code:
dbnomics providers, clear
This time you should see the Variables window get populated. You can then use the Data Editor (Edit/Browse) window or the list command to see the 62 different providers of data through dbnomics.

Hope that helps.
