Data update frequency
m-catanese opened this issue · 2 comments
Hello, I’m looking at the data by state and the latest date is 25 May. How frequent does the data get refreshed?
Hey @m-catanese -- thanks for your question.
May I direct you to #93 for a brief discussion about how "recent" RKI data is?
In addition to what's being discussed over there I can add that currently (in the current phase of case evolution in Germany) I update the data files in this repository every ~3 days. In terms of how these numbers evolve and in view of the reporting delay within the RKI data I do think that's reasonable. For a more "sensational" and current view the HTTP API is more "real time"!
I of course appreciate your feedback.
Quick update: we're very close to having multiple updates per day in this repository now; all done automatically.
