Under the hood for Noosa Shire Council

More of the gory details of how information gets into PlanningAlerts. This is here so you can see and learn how it's done but also so you are able to fix things and see in detail what isn't working.

The steps to getting data into Planning Alerts

Applications are published on the Noosa Shire Council website in a human readable, non-structured form.
The latest scraper code on Github is loaded by our scraping platform morph.io.
The scraper planningalerts-scrapers/multiple_technology_one on our scraping platform morph.io collects the information daily and converts it into a machine-readable format.
If the scraper errors anyone who is watching the scraper on morph.io gets informed via a daily email alert.
The machine readable data is validated, imported and geocoded by PlanningAlerts daily. If there are any validation errors on an application, the application is skipped and the error is logged. See below for the most recent logs.
The information is published on PlanningAlerts, made available via the API, and people are informed of new applications via email alerts.
