Owner maintenance

mode=warm rebuilds the snapshot from the FSA source and writes it to this actor's private key-value store, then refreshes the public summary. It is a maintenance path for this account only, not a user query: any other user selecting it gets an error. A warm run takes about two minutes and returns one summary row. The default (empty) run never triggers it.

{ "mode": "warm" }

Notes on the data, from the source

• Row limit per run. maxResults is capped at 5,000 records; narrow the filters rather than requesting the whole register in one run.
• Two rating scales. England, Wales and Northern Ireland use FHRS (0-5 plus Awaiting Inspection / Exempt); Scotland uses FHIS (Pass, Improvement Required, Awaiting Inspection). schemeType tells you which scale a row is on.
• One spelling for awaiting inspections. The FSA file mixes AwaitingInspection and Awaiting Inspection; both are normalised to Awaiting Inspection.
• Postcode gaps. 17% of establishments have no postcode in the source (509,282 of 614,715 do). Those rows are still searchable by name, council and business type.
• Weekly snapshot. The FSA replaces the CSV every day; this actor's owner-warm snapshot is rebuilt weekly and carries the source publication date in refreshedDate.
• Licence. Open Government Licence v3 - commercial reuse is permitted, with attribution to the Food Standards Agency.
