The following list of new features, updates and bug fixes are included in the latest Sprint 22.05 release to FDW/FDE.
New Features
Draft metadata documentation available
...
for some domains
Users can now utilize the FEWS NET data platform API to access metadata definitions and details corresponding to their data extract in the Price, Crop, and Trade domains and for exchange rates in the Other domain. To access, add the word metadata to your API call link between the endpoint and parameters. For example:
If your API call is:
/api/marketpricefacts/?dataseries=2567202&format=html
You can call metadata definitions using:
/api/marketpricefacts/metadata/?dataseries=2567202&format=html
This information can be accessed in html, PDF, or JSON formats.

Bug Fixes
FAO Price Pipeline
The FAO pipeline was running and failing due to dataseries metadata mismatch. To correct this, the dataseries required for successfully running the FAO price pipeline were created. In addition, an update was recently made so that when fetching data from web services, if there is a failure in one document due to unmatched metadata, other documents from that web service can still successfully pull data. This update was not working correctly and has been fixed.
FDE appends `fields=simple` to spatial data requests that have `fields=with_population` (DATA-1527)
Exports for population estimates in the FDE spatial domain were not working correctly. When the Population Data option in the Options tab was set to include population estimates, the export contained geographic information only. This issue has been fixed and downloads are working correctlyThis fix includes the following Jira issues:
Incorrect Dataset autocomplete for standard visualizations (DATA-1533)
The UI that allows users to build standard visualizations should help them select an appropriate Data Set using autocomplete. This was not working as intended and has been fixed.
