Have you considered this: "The query results in more than the supported maximum number of time series in one request. Please change your query. http://datahelp.imf.org/knowledgebase/articles/937155-how-to-query-large-datasets-with-data-services\"?

I chose one year, and i get an error too.

I need to draw to your attention, that imf_data is taking country, indicator, and start and end year.

if query results iin more than the support max number of time series, the imf_data should include other parameters counterpart country, sector, and counterpart sector.

Suggestion, that IMf should think of having a bulk download like Rilostat package.
