Toronto: Scrape personal website for persons

patcon opened this issue · comments

City of Toronto added personal websites from councillor pages into the CSV:
http://datapipes.okfnlabs.org/csv/html/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww1.toronto.ca%2FCity%2520Of%2520Toronto%2FInformation%2520%26%2520Technology%2FOpen%2520Data%2FData%2520Sets%2FAssets%2FFiles%2FToronto_Elected_Officials.csv

Likely in the interest of being cautious about the existing "website" column, they created a new column. Ideally, I would imagine the "website" column should just store the data currently in "personal website", as I'm not sure what it's for otherwise. But I won't bug them about it right away.

This might be a reason to publish a spec for this CSV format, so that we can point at it when making these requests :)
