If your API call is:

This information can be accessed in html, PDF, or JSON formats.

Bug Fixes

This update ensures that only data collections with data source documents that have a Public data usage policy are published and refreshed on the Data Center.
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.
