No data returned from nchs-mortality and can't use week as the time type

[IDPHChicago]

Actual Behavior:

When I query the data of any signal from data source nchs-mortality, it returns NoDataWarning. The time type is day (datetime.date()). The geo type is state. The geo value is il.
When I set the time type as week by using epiweek.Week(), it can't return the correct time and raise "AttributeError: 'Week' object has no attribute 'strftime'".

Expected behavior

I have the API key and would like to use covidcast.signal to download the data of Illinois from data source nchs-mortality. The signals are: deaths_covid_incidence_num, deaths_covid_incidence_prop, deaths_pneumonia_notflu_incidence_num, deaths_pneumonia_notflu_incidence_prop, deaths_pneumonia_or_flu_or_covid_incidence_num, deaths_pneumonia_or_flu_or_covid_incidence_prop.

Context

I can create the pandas dateframes by using covidcast.signal to download data from other data sources.

Do you remember which day you were trying to grab data from that gave you a NoDataWarning?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong @brookslogan but it seems like from the documentation that when using epiweeks we should use epiweek.Week.enddate()?

Hi Nolan, I tried yesterday currently and received the message. It’s supposed that if the time type is week, it should use epiweek.Week.startdate(). But no matter I used covidcast.signal() or Epidata.covidcast(), I can’t set week as the time type. It always went to coding for the time type “day”. If I set week as time type for Epidatta.covidcast(), the error message is the time format is wrong. I don’t know why. My query is: data = covidcast.signal("nchs-mortality", "deaths_covid_incidence_num",Week(2021, 5), Week(2021, 7), "state", "il") Best Yin From: Nolan Gormley ***@***.***> Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2023 12:08 PM To: cmu-delphi/covidcast-indicators ***@***.***> Cc: Peng, Yin ***@***.***>; Author ***@***.***> Subject: [External] Re: [cmu-delphi/covidcast-indicators] No data returned from nchs-mortality and can't use week as the time type (Issue #1904) Do you remember which day you were trying to grab data from that gave you a NoDataWarning? — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1gb-yPJvhoe7E6vZrWvzp0Xnm2t9gLTHf2D8EDR5r0YH-TrTrs4wjlghxypsnFGbGOnC-f9QO_g9b7ERTpxTEKhxxaYWR5dHtHKS4lR8dvFJPgkscHN3bt91sHrlFSk1lXS0rLxLWX9fPUkSMudvYW-ggUGOBtZJePlBccfUQDlDDLgVzepPxgk-U2ua-2RqrqAj08RJO-wlpBxGH8YU82b3m12xrxfMNkToLpuc53HJ8s6IYd_OH2zBSue-cXbrKgGLedhj00h7vUa_KSP6zgEWILNBxU8xXSDg_ckuTN2Uae9zsG3NfC4B9R9_yJFJbQ6a7fWJqpm1HxMRHhicdGCvvv7yXKqmv4hlGeM4FL4uY9S_NOSh4xSfa5k_5rt2g47aZPc0b0p6wZhMABGGdLu03qT8iIANJDvfdD7rTGMk/https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcmu-delphi%2Fcovidcast-indicators%2Fissues%2F1904%23issuecomment-1766831384>, or unsubscribe<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1WvrQmkepyelvZoZd6KK4RQmF0VBcX0-S-N1swXzoTvKKgvhG5DixonTskUb4-e5KB1Q6EhxOf7pDjvquJQoKOlQ_2ck6ntlnzGbqIOp4NDpUkHOf2UlNlTtHQfntgiD7Gtjuwdd8mIN-VkyzSf8-jYXis5dh2_qIruxgLPTEQEjXSvqOgzB1gKc5oUJVEeoqrPsDNauVTAuFvtOSMmL2KCWvZMGfYTKB1rD6-stzjIMOCLbfa-IIK388TcHP3RrKb2UZ6NJacscIB33yEknj0zSF1NeWoZVFkZynXKj2r5RZTgA-caBOYnwgC9x8n3M7GXtU-gWmrAjjBwMKGBW906D74WHXefNxagqtcYXc5c8b16_EOOcLHvYXRIO26i_VC0SU8o-Xeich1Jw0FrMtWVI7C8daY0kZJ11wPjO56SI/https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fnotifications%2Funsubscribe-auth%2FBDLAIELIWKKPUG6KQRZIIMLX723P3AVCNFSM6AAAAAA6D7KOZWVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMYTONRWHAZTCMZYGQ>.

@IDPHChicago: nchs-mortality data is collated weekly. Try this to get the data you are looking for, and note the time_type and time_values arguments that together specify the range of weeks 5 through 7 of 2021:

from delphi_epidata import Epidata
data = Epidata.covidcast("nchs-mortality", "deaths_covid_incidence_num", time_type="week", geo_type="state", time_values="202105:202107", geo_value="il")

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We recently (accidentally) introduced a bug in processing "week" dates on our server, and you helped us identify it.

Now that it has been fixed, you should be able to use the covidcast client successfully... However, its start_day and end_day arguments must be of type datetime.date, even if the signal is "weekly". Either the .startdate() or .enddate() methods of epiweek.Week objects can be used to convert (and both should net the same results for weekly signals). Be sure you also specify time_type="week"! Here is a modified version of your sample code from above that should work properly:

data = covidcast.signal("nchs-mortality", "deaths_covid_incidence_num", Week(2021, 5).startdate(), Week(2021, 7).enddate(), "state", "il", time_type="week")

[IDPHChicago]

It’s so nice to see that you update the covidcast.signal() which would be helpful for my co-workers. Sometimes the outer request is a special time frame by the date not the week. Thank you!
