Some Alaska FIPS data missing

Guys,

love your work. really.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/geojson-counties-fips.json is missing some Alaska details. Thinking it might be easier for you to update it than for me to as I have no idea where to get the geometry info and assume you have access to this via some database parsing you have already set up.

Ref my question here: https://community.plotly.com/t/alaska-by-fips-not-appearing/55846

There are about 20 FIPS for which there is no geodata in AK. Also a couple in DC.

Thank you.

I'm glad you like our libraries!

We're not really updating these datasets on a regular basis, they're just here as easily-downloadable demo datasets and we don't vouch for their accuracy or completeness or fitness for any kind of real analytical or production purpose. If you have specific needs with respect to data, you should probably be sourcing it from a more authoritative location :)

Sorry!

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know where this data originally came from!
