I am having trouble using the BEA database. I entered my code from the BEA then proceeded to select BEA data. When I select "filter" nothing happens.
See attached file.

Re: BEA Database
After you click Browse on database window (before you click Filter) do you see a list of datasets like the attached screenshot?

Re: BEA Database
1. Are you behind a proxy server? In that case make sure that EViews is configured correctly.
2. Please try this on a browser window :
https://apps.bea.gov/api/data/?UserID=BEAKEY&method=GETDATASETLIST&resultformat=json
Make sure to replace the BEAKEY with your Key. Do you should see a json response with the BEA datasets like :
{"BEAAPI":{"Request":{"RequestParam":[{"ParameterName":"METHOD","ParameterValue":"GETDATASETLIST"},{"ParameterName":"RESULTFORMAT","ParameterValue":"JSON"}]},"Results":{"Dataset":[{"DatasetName":"NIPA","DatasetDescription":"Standard NIPA tables"},{"DatasetName":"NIUnderlyingDetail","DatasetDescription":"Standard NI underlying detail tables"},{"DatasetName":"MNE","DatasetDescription":"Multinational Enterprises"},{"DatasetName":"FixedAssets","DatasetDescription":"Standard Fixed Assets tables"},..}

Re: BEA Database
1. I don't know what a proxy server is.
2. What does the app code do? Does it change my Windows settings?

2. No, it loads a webpage.
Also, what version/date is your copy of EViews? (Help->About EViews).

Re: BEA Database
The attached file shows what I get when I key the code supplied for the BEAPPI, using my registration.
When I selected the "preview" tab and the the "submit" tab, the attached file posted and I no longer see the attached file on the previous unedited response.

Re: BEA Database
It seems that you have an invalid UseriId.
To check the API Key open the BEA database from EViews. Select Views->Preferences...
Check the BEA API Key if it is correct. You can also request a new key by clicking the link (https://apps.bea.gov/API/signup/index.cfm) on the preferences window.

Re: BEA Database
I got a new Userid and hand typed it into the EViews box and it now works. I had copied and pasted the previous Userid.
I now see the screen similar to what you posted. I will now just need to "play" with the filter and data screens to see what I can find.
Thanks
