Error at getting SP.POP.TOTL

[marianocrosetti]

I did
wb.get_series('SP.POP.TOTL', mrv=1)
And get:

Hello @mariano22 , thanks for reporting this.

Could you to check if you can access the world bank from your system? I mean, can you open http://api.worldbank.org/v2/country/all/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL?mrv=1&format=jsonstat&per_page=20000 in your browser?

Please also note this from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/502:

A Gateway might refer to different things in networking and a 502 error is usually not something you can fix, but requires a fix by the web server or the proxies you are trying to get access through.

I think it was an error that maybe the server had at the moment.
