Would be cool to develop a bot to scrape LUB and DP proposals from the DMAP as they come up. Maybe 10 LOCs per article just to keep it from spamming.
Would automatically include some details about the proposal, and a link to where you could provide comments.
Super not necessary right now, but I thought maybe one day it could be a cool feature for the forum (if it’s not a violation of City web ToS).
Would be cool to start thinking about what criteria we would want to the bot to look for. Like a threshold number of units for development permits or a certain size of land use changes. Direct Control?
it might be a violation of the City’s TOS.
I know MyProperty forbids any automated scraping of the site, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was similar for DMAP
The DMAP Lunch and Learn event is also an opportunity to give the City feedback. We could ask for some sort of RSS notification feature with custom settings for what to be notified on
