EC Web scraping down

[massimo.narini]

Hi Everyone,


I have had a few inquiries about the EC Climate Stations that are found in WISKI, mainly that they have not been updating for a few weeks.

The majority of the stations are polled by a custom spreadsheet made by Dave Eastcott at Quinte Conservation. Unfortunately, EC has changed their data format at the location that Dave had been scrapping the data from. In the coming weeks, he will rewrite the scripts that are running to pull the data from this location and it should be working again.

I do not have an official timeline, but was assured that it would happen soon.


If anyone has any better ways to get the data from here (Such as a KiDAT task): https://dd.weather.gc.ca/climate/                                 or an approximate location, please let me know.
