I have the same ask. I check in the last hour, the JSON schema returns empty field. Is the dataset still valid and maintain?

From the website, last update is on February 13, 2018, 14:51 (SGT).

Hi, We are aware of the issue and working with NEA to restore the service.

Thanks Lennard for the update. Just a suggestion/feedback, I know there is no SLA to the API datasets. It would be nice to have some notice posted both on website(data.gov.sg) and within the JSON schema to indicate the availability of service. The current dataset has "api_info":{"status":"healthy"}, perhaps this can be updated so that we will know and be able to provide the right info to our downstream users of our apps to seek info from else where while GovTech/NEA restore the service.

Hi @maxng07 , Thanks for the feedback we'll see what we can do about the messaging. In the meantime, we are still working with NEA to restore the service.

maxng07 commented 4 years ago

@lennardl - thanks. I just check, the 4 datasets for Realtime Weather Readings across Singapore are now available.

lennardl commented 4 years ago

@maxng07 We restored the service with NEA and will be asking them to backfill the data lost over last weekend.
