This was broken in #8690.
Reference Issue for new dataset: https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/issues/7082

Should we add the API again or should we immediately start work on the new dataset?

@kristenmthayer Np :smile:, It's not a duplicate -- this issue hasn't been brought up yet.

[kristenmthayer]

Oh, I see :-)

Should we add the API again or should we immediately start work on the new dataset?

The later. We need a new static data set that can be fetched, could be JSON (data hard coded).

[DealPete]

I did this challenge recently (http://codepen.io/DealPete/pen/GZPgpG), and I used country contiguity data I got from Correlates of War. We could use that as an example.

[kristenmthayer]

@DealPete your example is really cool! But I did mine with the FCC data, so mine is broken :-(

[DealPete]

Thanks @kristenmthayer, I started mine after they had discontinued Camper News, so I knew I'd have to use new data.

[raisedadead]

@DealPete Thanks a lot for the pen, and the alternate data set. Do you think you can make a PR to update the challenge.

I have forked your pen under FCC and tested it with https and it works, if you do update the challenge, then use the below as the link in the challenge:

[raisedadead]

I will take care of updating the Pen's title once PR is ready and merged.

[kristenmthayer]

@raisedadead @theflametrooper @DealPete any chance one of you has a copy of the old data set somewhere? If the challenge gets changed, I would still want my graph to work, and it would be easier to copy an existing set rather than reverse engineering it. Thanks :-)

[kristenmthayer]

Okay, hard-coded some fake data in my graph so it works again, if you want to borrow/use it, feel free: http://codepen.io/KMT/pen/dMqgrO. Have a good day!

@kristenmthayer I think I have a copy of the data somewhere if you would prefer. I'll try to remember to look for it when I get home.

[kristenmthayer]

@sludge256 thanks! That would be great, if you have it, mine is pretty obviously invented.

[sludge256]

@kristenmthayer Sorry for the delay. I don't know how much data this file contains but it's what I have.

@sludge256 thanks! I really appreciate that!!
