About failing download the studies of "get_studies()“ about gwasrapidd HOT 6 CLOSED

Allstudies.rds.zip
Hi @huyou0916,

{gwasrapidd} uses the GWAS Catalog REST API to fetch that data. It does this by iteratively performing multiple HTTP requests. The two 500 errors you got indicate an internal error with the GWAS Catalog server.

I've tried again those URLs that triggered the errors and they seem to be working fine, in isolation. So I guess it might have been a momentary fluke. I'd suggest you try again. Be warned though that fetching all study information in one go will not be the most agile approach. If you really interested in all studies, it might be more practical to download one of the data dumps provided by the GWAS Catalog team: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/docs/file-downloads.

See attached file. Unzip it first and then load the object with readRDS("Allstudies.rds").

Thank you for your reply and advice. I have tried to fetch one study and then succeeded.

I just tried getting all studies, and although it took a few minutes, in the end I got everything. The R object is provided as an attachment to my previous post.
