Traffic Cameras API no longer returns congestion locations

[Josh Burton]

Hi,

The Traffic Cameras API used to turn congestion locations for some cameras. It is no longer returning any congestion information for any cameras.

Cheers,
Josh

Not sure why I can't make any new topics

but 

It would also appear that the api is returning returns with 2 dissimilar structures !

From a parsing perspective the parent xml tag has changed from camera  to cameras 

and 

the ID numbers have changed to 9 digit codes , these used to be a 3 digit code reflected in the cameras url 

eg http://www.trafficnz.info/camera/view/653

I guess the old id's are the <cameraDisplayId>

here's a camera from one return 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<tns:getCamerasResponse xmlns:tns="https://infoconnect.highwayinfo.govt.nz/schemas/camera2">

<tns:camera>

<tns:description>South along Nthn Mwy from Wainui Rd</tns:description>

<tns:direction>Southbound</tns:direction>

<tns:group>NA</tns:group>

<tns:id>651</tns:id>

<tns:imageUrl>http://www.trafficnz.info/camera/651.jpg</tns:imageUrl>

<tns:lat>-36.603273</tns:lat>

<tns:lon>174.661741</tns:lon>

<tns:name>SH1 Millwater</tns:name>

<tns:offline>false</tns:offline>

<tns:region>Auckland</tns:region>

<tns:thumbUrl>http://www.trafficnz.info/camera/thumb/651.jpg</tns:thumbUrl>

<tns:underMaintenance>false</tns:underMaintenance>

<tns:viewUrl>http://www.trafficnz.info/camera/view/651</tns:viewUrl>

</tns:camera>

and here's another return (a few minutes later)

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<getCamerasResponse>

<cameras xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 

<cameraDisplayId="651"> xsi:type="java:com.fujitsu.nz.infoconnect.camera.entity.Camera">

</cameras>

I'm using exactly the same URL

https://infoconnect1.highwayinfo.govt.nz/ic/jbi/TrafficCameras2/REST/FeedService/

These are a few minutes apart,

This seems chaotic, can someone tell me whats going on?
