FAWN API : "lastDay"

Method: "summary"

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

Like the FAWN Report Generator, one day generally consists of 96 observations with measurement started at 11:45PM local standard time the previous night. I.e. When called on Oct 14th, the returned values would summarize the period 11:45PM Oct 12 to 11:45PM Oct 13th. ISO8601 dates are given to remove any timezone-related ambiguity.

If you fetch this data automatically, you're encouraged to time your fetches a few hours into each day to lower the risk of any "late" reporting stations going missing in the summary.
