FAQ

Why not use the CEB website directly?

• Although the data is available publicly and for free, it is not in a suitable open format that would enable developers or students to build applications reliably

• I encourage you to use the CEB website if you wish to

In which format is the data provided?

• JSON
• The shape is as follows:

{
  "district_name": [
    {
        "date": string, // "Le dimanche 13 mars 2022 de  09:30:00 à  13:00:00",
        "locality": string, // "TAMARIN",
        "streets": string, // "AVE DES MARLINS, AVE DES CAMPECHES, AVE DES BONITES ET UNE PARTIE DE BLACK ROCK ROAD",
        "district": string, // "blackriver",
        "from": string, // "2022-03-13T05:30:00.000Z" (ISO 8601 UTC),
        "to": string, // "2022-03-13T09:00:00.000Z" (ISO 8601 UTC),
        "id": string, // Legacy identifier (MD5 hash of raw data),
        "outageId": string // Stable identifier (MD5 hash of district+locality+start_time)
    },
    {
        ...
    }
  ]
}

Note about identifiers:

• id: Legacy field, may change if CEB updates outage information. Use for backwards compatibility.
• outageId: Stable identifier that remains consistent even if CEB updates the outage times. Use for reliable outage tracking and deduplication.
