I always use http://isup.me/ to check if a site is down or if it's just me.

From Twitter: "It looks like @LCBO has blocked LCBO API from crawling, which means no data updates. I’ll update here as I uncover more information".

The LCBO responded that they are working on resolving this after a small outcry about access to open data.

Evidently, the issue has still has not been addressed. I realize now how utterly dependant I have become on drinkvine to plan my LCBO trips. Maybe I should try going old school and just perusing the aisles at a couple of bear by locations to see what's new...

I actually use Drinkvine for my job so this "issue" (looking at you, again, LCBO) is really putting a kink in my workday.

I messaged Ralph the other day, I'm not sure he was aware of the service disruption. Other third-party sites like the app Elsie is up and running.
