From Source to Product Signal

Test a Product Idea in Four Steps

AT-Alert lists current public warnings through a JSON RPC POST endpoint. Start with at most five production alert records; an empty response is possible. Preserve official polygons, severity, and begin/end times, and exclude tests before presenting any warning.

Check the Setup

  • Python 3.10 or newer
  • An internet connection
  • The requests Python package

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://warnung.at-alert.at/api/rpc/alert/list",
    json={"json": {"limit": 5, "offset": 0,
                   "alertLevels": ["AlertLevel1", "AlertLevel2",
                                   "AlertLevel3", "AlertLevel4"]}},
    timeout=30,
)
response.raise_for_status()
payload = response.json()["json"]
print(f"{payload['totalCount']} production alerts in this response")
for alert in payload["alerts"][:5]:
    print(alert.get("consolidation_identifier"), alert.get("alert_level"),
          alert.get("begin_date"), alert.get("end_date"))

Test a Useful Signal

Inspect Austrian Civil Alerts

Check a bounded AT-Alert response for region-specific warning review.

  1. 01Keep issuer, alert ID, severity, validity, and official polygons.
  2. 02Reject test messages and handle updates and expirations.
  3. 03Explain why no returned records do not establish an all-clear.
