API open-data/msc-datamart/ missing city pages

[radzhome]

So these cities appear in the siteMap but do not have an actual page -

[['BC', 's0000846'], ['BC', 's0000847'], ['BC', 's0000849'], ['BC', 's0000850'], ['BC', 's0000851'], ['BC', 's0000852'], ['BC', 's0000853'], ['BC', 's0000854'], ['BC', 's0000856'], ['BC', 's0000867'], ['BC', 's0000868']]

So here for example - https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/xml/siteList.xml

You will notice the record is there

<site code="s0000846">
<nameEn>Coquihalla Highway - Hope to Merritt</nameEn>
<nameFr>route de Coquihalla - de Hope à Merritt</nameFr>
<provinceCode>BC</provinceCode>
</site>

but pages
https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/xml/BC/s0000846_e.xml
https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/xml/BC/s0000846_f.xml

are missing .. the page just before it 845 is there so url pattern seems right -

https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/xml/BC/s0000845_f.xml

Thanks for your message.

The high elevation forecasts, (the citypage you mentioned above) for seasonal text bulletin forecasts issued only for British Columbia, are available at the following address :

https://dd.weather.gc.ca/citypage_weather/xml/HEF

See the list:

Hope it helps

it does. Thanks! Is there any way to indicate to use HEF for these on the siteList page? If you parse the provinceCode you will not get to HEF ever. Maybe another data point is required here?

This will be fixed in a next release, somewhere in spring 2023...
