carlosp420··on How Web Scraping Is Revealing Lobbying and Corruption in Peru
yes. So far we have a very simple API http://manolo.rocks/docs/ With this API, it is possible to download all the structured data kept in Manolo and do such interesting analyses.

Or maybe that can be implemented in Manolo's GUI. It should not be difficult as it is based on Django.

muchas gracias! En el Perú ya hay varios grupos de periodistas que se han asociado con programadores para hacer proyectos interesantes de periodismo de datos. Está Ojo Publico, Convoca e IDL reporteros. Pero igual no nos damos abasto hay tanto por hacer!

I never thought of that, but certainly having a RSS feed is a great idea. I have not done it as the journalists have not requested it. So far they have been asking me for more spiders so Manolo would include visit records from other Peruvian institutions.
