[acs-r] reliability of census api

Mon May 18 13:34:05 EDT 2015

I just tried to run the following query:

state_geo = acs::geo.make(state = "*")
race.data = acs::acs.fetch(geography = state_geo, table.number = "B03002",
                           col.names = "pretty", endyear = 2013, span = 5)

And got this error message:

Error in matrix(unlist(value, recursive = FALSE, use.names = FALSE), nrow =
nr,  :
  'data' must be of a vector type, was 'NULL'

I'm pretty sure that my code is valid: I've run it before. I've noticed
that on and off I get errors like this. Is this due to the census api being
down?

Thanks.
