The Status API

The Status API is an important Snapshot endpoint that lets you know whether or not a feed is available. The Status API should ALWAYS be used to check the status before calling any feeds.

The GET Status API status responses for all Data Feed endpoints will be:

  • available: the job is complete, there is data available
  • nodata: the job is complete, there is no data available
  • unavailable the job is not complete

Note: Please call the Status APIs on Sundays after 5:00 AM CST to check the availability status of feed files. This ensures that all necessary refreshes and feed generations are completed. Calling before this time could result in a 204 (No Content) error from the Status API.
