For Wisconsin results – how hard would it be to build a web-scraper?

1 pointsccarter8410y ago1 comments

Last minute idea, but how hard is it to whip up a web-scraper to grab snapshots of various election results in 10 or 15 minute intervals?

Each county appears to have a separate tab, so this is likely way too complex, but figured I'd ask.

Example: http://www.co.adams.wi.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=chB4qV2QBHo%3d&tabid=60

*Edit, after clicking around more, it seems a lot are in different formats, some PDF's, some iframes. So, that's not very handy.

You could probably do it fairly easy & quickly using something like ParseHub (https://www.parsehub.com/), import.io, or KimonoLabs.
