Run at 15:21 when the Dashboard is update with vaccination numbers #30

The dashboard lags just a few minutes behind data.rivm.nl, which means the webscraper got yesterdays vaccination data. Yesterday it was 163.931, today it's 173.638.

@mzelst Don't forget to check if the dashboard is updated before running the scripts today :)

Hi Ewout,

Luckily, the dashboard got updated and the source data for vaccines seems to be updated earlier than the actual dashboard is updated :) So we're now using the actual numbers of today that are also displayed on the dashboard (around 15:20) in the daily update. Thanks for your note!

EwoutH commented 3 years ago

The current value still is yesterdays value (185.356, on January 27th), it will update again today around 15:20. So by running the scripts at 15:16 you will miss the updated value again and keep lagging a day behind.

Hi Ewout,

Yeah, I've misread the documentation for the source code and read vaccines delivery expected as vaccines used. Rewriting the code again so it fully works.

The quick update is finding a balance between accuracy and being the first. Perhaps good to move the scheduled update until 15:20 (instead of 15:15) until they properly fix the open data (it's the worst here). Thanks for being sharp!

Let's hope the vaccination data will soon be updated at data.rivm.nl.

Thanks for the amazing reports every day!
