It should be very easy to try to fetch it once a day in June and December
until you succeed from each of the URLs in a list, with the default
list being the two canonical (for the US at least) sources. Shouldn’t
be more than a dozen lines in a periodic script.

The BIPM also publishes this data in another form, as does USNO for the
paranoid that want to check. phk has also spearheaded an effort
to publish this data via DNS, but I don’t know if that’s live and
automated or just live and experimental…
