Switch to github for getRKIData #146

Closed mknaranja closed 2 years ago

mknaranja commented 2 years ago

Since RKI now also provides infection data on github, after a verification step, we should probably switch the download address to github. There we also find data frames for past dates.

This would be a good first issue @annette-lutz

the files have the same format as the old sources, except some columns are missing:

Please add your planning poker estimate with ZenHub @mknaranja

annette-lutz commented 2 years ago

Should the data only be downloaded from github or should the script try to dowload the data from the old sources we are using at the moment in case that the dowload from github fails?

mknaranja commented 2 years ago

I think an alternative source would be a good option that prevents the download from failing if one server is temporary offline at CI run for instance...
