Integrating gman with the Italian index of public administrations (IPA) #176

Closed realeroberto closed 4 years ago

realeroberto commented 4 years ago

In Italy there are more than 20,000 public bodies, and only a few of them have a domain under the .gov.it hierarchy. This is due to a decision by AGID, whereby the .gov.it hierarchy is reserved for central public administrations only.

However, there do exist an official public API which returns the website for each public entity, the so-called IPA (Indice dei domicili digitali delle pubbliche amministrazioni e dei gestori di pubblici servizi).

IPA is mandated by the Italian law and managed by AGID. It can be queried by requesting a free-of-charge Authorization ID.

Thus, my proposal is to integrate gman with IPA so as to dynamically query the API and return an up-to-date response.

Other Countries might implement similar solutions as well.
