Data the OpenCorporates team is scraping…. from the Data team
Shyam worked on financial licenses for all US states. That is 64 bots! Peter and Lukas have continued their work on our internal data model and improving the performance of the core code. There is something interesting Seb has been researching which you can find in the “What Else” section.
Bots submitted by community members…. from Peter Evans.
Peter Evans was off this week but we had an interesting week looking more at corporate networking mapping and the roadblocks that come in the way of it. We’ll be collecting these learnings and then publish it.
Do you want to join the fun and claim an Open Data mission? Here’s what Peter suggests.
MEDIUM : Write a bot for ‘finance Licences (securities) – Superintendency Of Companies And Securities (Ecuador)’
