APOC Data

Data from the Alaska Public Offices Commission.

This scrapes the CSV files from the APOC website once a day and uploads them to this repo's releases.

Manual

Browse from this repo's releases.

Python

pip install apoc-data-scrape and then

from apoc_data.download import download

download(
    release="latest",
    filename="debt.csv",
    destination="apoc_debt.csv",
)

Shell

You can download these CSVs using the direct URLs from the releases page using curl, pandas, ibis, whatever!

curl -L https://github.com/prime-consult/apoc-data-scrape/releases/download/20240716-025636/candidate_registration.csv > candidate_registration.csv

or we have a tiny python script that makes this a little nicer, eg get the latest release, choose the download directory, etc. Read the script for more info.

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prime-consult/apoc-data-scrape/main/src/apoc_data/download.py | python - --release latest
