I work at the Norwegian Road administration, and we have this wonderful new API that we''re VERY proud of. It is not only "open data", it is "open government" in practice. Could you whitelist us, pretty please? The adress is https://www.vegvesen.no/nvdb/api/ , so I assume whitelisting www.vegvesen.no would do the trick.

Unfortunaltely, we're also a bunch of hillbillys that stubbornly refuse to write documentation in anything but the most esoteric of languages. (We'll cave in and provide English docs, someday, I guess). I give the remaining 99.93% a little sneak peak of what's behind the language barrier here:
http://www.vegdata.no/2014/02/19/a-little-note-to-oor-our-international-fans/

should be no problem :)

is www.vegdata.no the only domain? or does the API use a different subdomain?

Ah, a bit unclear, I guess: The domain is www.vegvesen.no

(The other domain vegdata.no is just our development blog).

Come to think of it, we also from time to time provide some highly experimental service at the domain labs.vegdata.no. It would be swell if that cold be whitelisted as well.

OK, those should both be whitelisted now.

Awesome, thanks a bundle :)

No problem!

Tested from a free account, works as a charm :)

But I can't find the domains in the official white list: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/whitelist/ ?

What's your maintenance schedule for the official white list? In a perfect world, I guess that's just one tiny of a zillion tasks you could (or should!) have automated... ;)

The official whitelist updates when we update the site, normally -- and because we did an upgrade this morning then it would normally be in there. However, because we'd already started the new cluster when we whitelisted these domains yesterday, it didn't get into the new cluster's whitelist page (though we did make sure we manually patched it into the whitelist that the code uses).

Agreed, it should definitely be automated! Just one of those things that happens rarely enough that we've never quite got round to it...
