Information: from today the database (excelfile) of the frozen-incidence data is only updated weekly! This means that there are no current frozen-incidence values ​​for the next 6 days. As it has been on the weekends for some time.

@marlon360 any chance to buffer the values vor 6 days on mass storage? (i know you dont want to do this ......). Or do we have to live with it?

Rubber1Duck commented 2 years ago

JIT calculation is possible .................. , but to do that on Wednesday (one day before the excelsheet is updated again) 6 files, each currently over 150MB, of daily data (from the RKI archive) would have to be downloaded and processed in order to get the new cases of each day, thats ~1GB of traffic and the processing time won't be great either. that is absolute overkill. (and the filesize is growing up each day!). Without temporarily storing the daily incidence value somewhere, I am currently not looking at any other way, unless someone knows a data source in which the daily frozen cases can be called up!

As of today, the Excel file is updated on Mondays instead of Thursdays! What a kindergarten .....

I'm working on a solution, be patient ... Today I was ready for the first tests .... but unfortunately that is no longer possible now, I have to wait until tomorrow .....

I've tried a lot, but unfortunately I don't see a feasible solution with a reasonable amount of data!

so i will close this issue
