As a commercial user of LCBO API (you generate revenue directly or indirectly from your usage) would you pay a subscription fee?

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

@jaytennier Oops... wrong account... LOL 🤷🏼‍♀️

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

@jaytennier Dude, that’s awesome! My friends @jamiebikies and @elucid are all about that bread baking life. I plan to pit them against each other soon to create the ultimate sourdough boule 😈

In August I’ll be starting the process of an autologous stem cell transplant to put an end to my ultra-aggro form of diffuse b-cell lymphoma which (very rudely) stopped responding to first-line chemo a couple months ago #dlbcl

@zakakatz Unfortunately the mothership only updates once a day

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

Keep in mind this would mean *finally* Producers, Regions, and Categories APIs as well as stock keeping features and other enhancements

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

@canadiancreed Yes, each dump represents a snapshot in time, so there is a lot of duplication between them

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

@canadiancreed LCBO API retains all products, even discontinued ones, so the dumps are smaller and smaller as you go back in time

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Some product descriptions are missing/old, I will investigate ASAP ❤️

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

@canadiancreed Hi, yes you can page through the Datasets endpoint and download each one, they contain CSV data for everything…

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

@jneusteter created_at is when the data collection started and updated_at is the last time data was added. The diff is the duration.

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

@james_herdman But can be more, reported_on doesn’t change if the quantity didn’t change. It can be confusing, but it’s what’s observed.

[LCBO API 🍇 @lcboapi]

@james_herdman Not necessarily, reported_on is the LCBO reported date, updated_at/on is when LCBO API crawled, reported_on is often -1 day.
