No more automatic update of the datafiles? about dutchcovid19data

[Sikerdebaard]

Unfortunately the server that collects and pushes the data is located in a datacenter where they had a massive power issue. For now I've moved the script to another server until the issue is resolved. Updates should continue on an hourly basis this way.

Thanks for reporting this!

Ok, so not related to NICE at all :), many thanks for your efforts!

Gebruikt allecijfers.nl dit als databron? If so: nice. ;)

[wbijster]

Yes, it does, I changed from NICE to your source in August when I went to France :)
And I just made a switch to use either NICE or this source, in case there is a power issue.

PS The IC-count works fine with NICE, I guess this was just a temporary timeout.

PS2 There are 3 more sources with NICE, not sure if you are aware:

'zkh-intake-count': 'https://www.stichting-nice.nl/covid-19/public/zkh/intake-count/',
'zkh-new-intake': 'https://www.stichting-nice.nl/covid-19/public/zkh/new-intake/',
'zkh-intake-cumulative': 'https://www.stichting-nice.nl/covid-19/public/zkh/intake-cumulative/'

That's really cool. 👍

New url's are automatically extracted from the Stichting NICE website and added to this dataset, so these are already available in the dataset:

https://github.com/Sikerdebaard/dutchcovid19data/blob/master/data/hospitalized/intake-count.json
https://github.com/Sikerdebaard/dutchcovid19data/blob/master/data/hospitalized/new-intake.json
https://github.com/Sikerdebaard/dutchcovid19data/blob/master/data/hospitalized/intake-cumulative.json

Well done, that automatic extraction! Aha, they are within hospitalized, I overlooked that, sorry. Many thanks again!

[Sikerdebaard]

Yeah sorry, the dataset is a bit chaotic. I just needed something quick for covid-analytics.nl during the first wave. At first Stichting NICE only published ICU numbers, but then they added hospitalized as well so this data was added as a folder. xD

I'd rather not touch something that works, especially since other parties like you and CoronaWatchNL use this data as well so a format or structure change would be annoying to these parties.

Of course, I totally understand and it is quite well structured, I should just have a better look! :)
