1/1 passing

Every response is timestamped. as_of is when the data was published, age_seconds how old that is now, and next_update_at when newer data is expected.

Three shapes to handle:

  • Up to date200

    The data is inside its published window. The overwhelming majority of requests.

  • Delayeddelayed: true

    Newer data is late. You still get the most recent there is, flagged so you can decide whether to use it.

  • Unavailable503

    Nothing recent enough to serve. Carries Retry-After, and is never billed.
