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.
