Data the OpenCorporates team is scraping…. from the Data team
Peter and Shyam have been working on business licenses, fixing broken company data importers, checking data for bugs and freshness.
Update on what mysterious problem solving they are up to…. from the Dev team
Peter: Ramping up the speed of data dumps

Bots submitted & networks mapped by community members…. from Peter Evans & Hera.
We recently accepted a bot by Ben Parker, scraping financial licences from the Central Bank of Bahrain and the the Montserrat Financial Services Commission, as well as one from Dinotash, scraping financial licences from the Securities Commission of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
