title: How to get data from Australia Bureau of Statistics using pandasmdx
body: <p>Is there anyone who got ABS data using pandasmsdx library?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code to get data from European Central Bank (ECB) which is working.</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>from pandasdmx import Request
  ecb = Request('ECB')  
  flow_response = ecb.dataflow()
  print(flow_response.write().dataflow.head())
  exr_flow = ecb.dataflow('EXR')
  dsd = exr_flow.dataflow.EXR.structure()
  data_response = ecb.data(resource_id='EXR', key={'CURRENCY': ['USD', 'JPY']}, params={'startPeriod': '2016'})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I change <code>Request('ECB')</code>  to <code>Request('ABS')</code> , error popups in 2nd line saying,</p>
  
  <p>"{ValueError}This agency only supports requests for data, not dataflow."</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get data from ABS?</p>
