Error in R when running openfda

[andreasmeid]

Dear All,

I just found the openfda R package und immediately tried the example provided on the Github repository. Unfortunately, an error occurred:

patient_ages = fda_query("/drug/event.json") %>%

• fda_count("patient.patientonsetage") %>%
• fda_exec()
  Fetching: https://api.fda.gov/drug/event.json?search=&count=patient.patientonsetage
  Hide Traceback
  Rerun with Debug
  Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) :
  Couldn't connect to server

Do you have any advice what to try next?

Kind regards

Andreas Meid
