Not working anymore?

[permaMonk]

Even if I’m the last one using this widget I’m interested why ist not working anymore.

The error messeng is:
Error: Die Daten konnten nicht gelesen werden, da sie nicht das korrekte Format haben.
[Error: The data could not be read because it is not in the correct format.]

So what’s the reason? It’s the end? Delete it?

I can't really know which specific widget you're talking about. Can you let me know which one gave you the error?

COVID Trend Widget

I took a look into this and it seems like the API I was using has been taken down or at least isn't working right now. Has this stopped working some time ago?

[permaMonk]

Yes it was fine 1 or 2 day before my first post.

Seems the api owner needs to fix it or maybe they intentionally shut it down. I searched for quite a while yesterday looking for a new source for the info but wasn't able to find one with current data

Thx a lot for your effort. I have, as yourself, not much hope this could be fixed.

Which API have you used so far? Is there a contact person at this institution? If desired, I can be assistant, e.g. with inquiries in native German.

I found out the heroku site/api was shut down and that is the reason why this stopped working. I tried a few different APIs but they didn't look to be promising due to the latest data being over a year old already and many others that were shutdown for some reason or another

Uncomprehending: unfortunately, that sounds like COVID-19 is over because no more data is being collected. 🙄

[mvan231]

Absolutely agree with you. It's weird that the data for this seems to be more difficult to gather now. On Dec 10, 2022, at 05:28, permaMonk ***@***.***> wrote: Uncomprehending: unfortunately, that sounds like COVID-19 is over because no more data is being collected. 🙄 —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you commented.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Do you know which institution put the API in at heroku site or who is the source of the API?

[mvan231]

I don't unfortunately. I had done some significant amount of searching and ended up giving up because it became too complicated to find a solution to the issue. I'd be happy to implement a new source for the info if you find one though
