themeparkpilot-wait-data

Auto-generated, free ($0) historical wait-time archive for Theme Park Pilot. This is a data-only mirror — no app code lives here.

An hourly GitHub Action records the public themeparks.wiki live feed for every park and commits it here. Public repos get unlimited Actions minutes, so the whole pipeline is free; the Theme Park Pilot app + admin read these raw files to draw their wait-history charts. No backend, no database.

Layout

data/wait-history/
  index.json                 # parks that currently have data
  <parkId>.json              # 30-day rolling raw window (per sample)
  <parkId>.summary.json      # per-ride, per-UTC-day {min,max,avg,count}, kept FOREVER

• <parkId>.json is bounded (30 days) so no file grows without limit.
• <parkId>.summary.json is tiny and never trimmed — the months/years signal only ever gets richer (each day is frozen once complete).

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/barkeeper/themeparkpilot-wait-data/main/data/wait-history/<parkId>.summary.json

Park ids come from https://api.themeparks.wiki/v1/destinations.

Config

parks.json is an optional allowlist — empty means all parks (the default). The ingest logic is ingest.py (Python stdlib only), mirrored from tools/wait_history/ingest.py in the main app repo.
