[BUG] getbb returns HTTP Error 502 from Nominatim

[mooibroekd]

I cannot get getbb to work correctly as it returns a 502 error. I am also not sure if it is related to ports being blocked or not being accessible, so I would appreciate if someone else could confirm.

bb <- getbb("Barcelona")
#> Error in `httr2::req_perform()`:
#> ! HTTP 502 Bad Gateway.

Could be related to #405. Can you make sure you've got latest version (>= 0.2.5.2)? That should fix

[mooibroekd]

Installed version is the one from CRAN and is listed as 0.2.5. I assume I need to install the development version?

[mpadge]

Yep, remotes::install_github("ropensci/osmdata") should do the trick. Let me know

[mooibroekd]

Yes, the development version fixes the problem. When will this be released on CRAN?

asap - i'll take this an incentive and endeavour to get it up this week. Thanks
