Strategies to download data constantly changing via API
I have to download a dataset through one API (WFS provided by geoserver) that tells me the total amount of items and delivers at maximum 1000 items per request and I can sort by one field and offset the requests start index. The layer has ~1Million items. I can use at maximum 5 parallel request before API gets overloaded.
Problem is that items are being added and removed in real time, so at the end of the copy process I already have stale data copied and there are new items to be copied over. So what would you do, or have done in this situation? Start a never ending loop to crawl data all day long would be something evil or is it something to be fixed on provider side?
The api url is https://geoserver.car.gov.br/geoserver/sicar/wfs

SN 1019: EU OS - Troy Hunt Phished, Ransomware List, InControl
- Kuala Lumpur International Airport says no to a ransom attack, switches to whiteboard.
- A tired and jet-lagged Troy Hunt got Phished then listed himself on his own site.
- Cloudflare completely pulls the plug on port 80 (HTTP) API access.
- Malware is switching to obscure languages to avoid detection. FORTH, anyone?
- Password reuse doesn't appear to be dropping. Cloudflare has numbers.
- A listener shares his log of malicious Microsoft login attempts. Why no geofencing?
- 23andMe down for the count (reminder).
- A sobering Ransomware attack & victim listing website. Gulp!
- "InControl" keeps VR planes aloft.
- And the European Union gets serious about a switch to Linux
