FAWN API : "lastHour"

Method: "summary"

Returns a summary table of the most recent complete hour available.

Like the FAWN Report Generator, we consider an hour as having the observations collected at 0, 15, 30, and 45 minutes past the hour. Therefore the actual start time of measurement was 15 minutes before the hour. I.e. an hour with start time 6:45AM included our 7:00-7:45AM observations.

If you fetch this data automatically, it should be available around 53 minutes past each hour, but you're encouraged to time your fetches 30 minutes past each hour to lower the risk of any "late" reporting stations going missing in the summary.
