[acs-r] Accessing 2015 five-year data

[Laviolette, Michael]

Hi Ezra,

In trying to access the five-year data for 2015, I ran

educ.all <- acs.fetch(15, geography = geo.make(state = 33), table.number = "B15001")

and got the "no variable lookup tables were available" message.  Going directly to Census API seemed to work.

api.census.gov/data/2015/acs5?get=NAME,B15001_001E&for=state:33&key=

[["NAME","B15001_001E","state"],
["New Hampshire","1052521","33"]]

Am I doing something wrong or does the package need updating?

Thanks,
Mike
