Historic data availability #4

Closed martimfj closed 2 years ago

martimfj commented 2 years ago

Hi! I wanted to know what is the historic availability for the open-data.

On the 2022-01-25 I managed to fetch data for that day. But today, 2022-01-31, data for that date is no longer available.

Accessing by FTP, the only data available is the past ~4 days. Trying to fetch data specifying a date before ~4 days ago, I receive a 404 from the API.

Is there a restriction for the open-data historic availability?

If there is a limitation, it would be nice to document it, I couldn't find this information anywhere.

best regards!

We currently keep only 3 days online. Other sources may keep the data for longer (but the data before 2022-01-25 is mostly test data). Access to historical data for our long term archive is not yet possible. We will update the documentation accordingly.

Where can I find the documentation?
