Due to problems with API indexing that occurred between 4/29 and 5/3, the current JSON snapshot for April 2026 is missing 1-2 days of data. We've resolved the indexing issue and are currently re-pushing the missing records into the API. Once that's completed, over the next few days, we'll build and release a new snapshot for April.
