Fixes our Cuyahoga County Community Improvement Corporation spider (aka. cuya_community_improvement), which broke due to URL and page structure changes across Cuyahoga County's website.
Why are we doing this?
We want working scrapers, of course 🤖 The changes in this PR include use of a new class mixin for scraping the Cuyahoga County website.
Steps to manually test
After installing the project using pipenv (see Readme):
Monitor the stdout and ensure that the crawl proceeds without raising any errors. Pay attention to the final status report from scrapy.
Inspect test_output.csv to ensure the data looks valid. I suggest opening a few of the URLs under the source column of test_output.csv and comparing the data for the row with what you see on the page.
Are there any smells or added technical debt to note?
