Live data vs illustrative seed
Lankawa ships with both live adapters and curated seed datasets. Seed modules let the platform stay usable while ingest pipelines are built — we document limitations openly in /about and on each module.
What you see on Lankawa
A honest snapshot of what is live today versus representative seed — check /status for current health.
| Module | Status | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| USD / LKR | Live adapter | CBSL daily table via scrape + DB ingest |
| Fuel prices | Live adapter | Octane partner API with cache |
| Flood stations | Live adapter | lk-flood-api river levels |
| Dengue cases | Seed data | Representative weekly seed — not live surveillance |
| Property medians | Live + fallback | Partner API when healthy; seed bands otherwise |
| Tender feed | Seed data | Static seed notices — not live e-GP |
Live adapter
Fetched from an upstream API or scheduled scrape on a public cadence. Freshness badges apply.
Illustrative seed
Curated sample aligned with published formats — useful for UI and demos, not operational response.
What this means
Live today: CBSL FX, Octane fuel, lk-flood-api levels, Open-Meteo weather, CEB power checks, CSE market board (with cache), and news RSS — subject to upstream availability.
Representative seed: dengue weekly tables, MP scorecards, tender notices, local government directory completeness, historical election approximations, and cost-of-living composites.
Mixed: property and vehicle modules attempt partner API calls but fall back to seed bands when upstream errors — watch freshness and source notes on those pages.
We expand live coverage as adapters stay green for 30+ days — see docs/ROADMAP.md. If a module matters to you, /status shows whether it is actually live right now.
What we will not claim
Seed data is never presented as live surveillance or official ledger extracts. When an adapter falls back to seed, freshness and source pages reflect that.
