Thank you for your work :)

In getNPIData.py, line 918 I still get the following future warning:
"FutureWarning: Downcasting behavior in replace is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To retain the old behavior, explicitly call result.infer_objects(copy=False). To opt-in to the future behavior, set pd.set_option('future.no_silent_downcasting', True)".

In line 1498 I also get the error "AttributeError: module 'matplotlib.cm' has no attribute 'get_cmap'"

Do you also oberve this?

Another thing: In the issue you mention a future in getCaseData.py. When running this script I didn't get any warnings although you didn't change anything. Did it only occur in the test case? Also you didn't mention getNPIData in the issue. Can you edit the issue accordingly?

By inferring the type of the df first I could avoid the future warning. Can you adapt the comment? Then I can merge :)
