enumeration_type filter doesn't work in all cases

[wndowd]

I've used npi quite a bit recently, and it works very well most of the time. However, in some cases the enumeration_type() filter seems not to work. See example below.

>library(npi)
> tmp = npi_search(state="NY", postal_code = "10461", address_purpose="location", limit=1200)
1200 records requested
Requesting records 0-200...
Requesting records 200-400...
Requesting records 400-600...
Requesting records 600-800...
Requesting records 800-1000...
Requesting records 1000-1200...

>#note: there are organizational NPIs in the search
> table(tmp$enumeration_type)

  Individual Organization 
        1056          144 

>#Now try with enumeration_type filter
> tmp = npi_search(state="NY", postal_code = "10461", address_purpose="location", limit=1200, enumeration_type = "org")
1200 records requested
Requesting records 0-200...
Requesting records 200-400...
Requesting records 400-600...
Requesting records 600-800...

>#Returns empty table
> table(tmp$enumeration_type)
< table of extent 0 >

The analogous API call does return output:

https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api/?enumeration_type=NPI-2&state=NY&postal_code=10461&limit=200&version=2.1

Thank you for reporting this, @wndowd. I’ll investigate and see what might need to be fixed.
