nyt-2020-election-scraper VS help-scraper

I haven't been able to find a similar resource for this year's election, but you're referencing this: https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html

Fourth, Take a look at this website, it tracked all of the votes coming in for all the states. https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html Alaska even took until two weeks after the election to finish their votes.

Georgia was called for Biden on Friday: Biden first captured the lead Friday early morning. It was later called for him several hours later. By practically every single news network, including Fox.

This is a really powerful use-case! If you saw Alex Gaynor's election tracker[1] during the US 2020 elections, it's exactly how it worked. Actions scraped the NYT election results.json, and a static site on GH pages rendered the data, XHRing the scraped JSON out of the repo periodically.

There's no GraphQL backend yet! We've only done HTTP and SQL backends so far. If your GQL query is simple enough, you might be able to squeak by with an HTTP flat action whose target is https://your.site/graphql?query=whatever ?

Nice start. Another project recently opened my eyes around the election and results. Where it has “output files” directly in GitHub. Would be cool to have something run daily that populates some output files with info for others to view directly in GitHub, but also show the power or the API. Here is the Election Results example: https://github.com/alex/nyt-2020-election-scraper

I can’t find any scrapers for this election. The general https://github.com/alex/nyt-2020-election-scraper/blob/master/battleground-state-changes.txt was a constant refresh for me.

This is really impressive.

I've been running a scraper against the output of the "aws --help" CLI commands for a few months, to try and get a better feel for how often AWS changes - I call this "help scraping". The answer is it changes a LOT - there are updates to their APIs every single day.

Here's the commit log of changes I've tracked so far: https://github.com/simonw/help-scraper/commits/main/aws

My AWS tracker has caught a ton of a activity - they really do ship new feature in that tool every day of the week: https://github.com/simonw/help-scraper/commits/main/aws

My scraper against the GitHub GraphQL schema catches some interesting details too: https://github.com/simonw/help-scraper/commits/main/github
