Closed pebreo closed 10 years ago

pebreo commented 10 years ago

Feature: Search data by date

Scenario: Search the contracts awarded data by date
  Given the data exists in our database
  When I select a date range
  Then I should see a table of the results

Scenario: Search the bids (solications) data by date
  Given the data exists in our database
  When I select a date range
  Then I should see a table of the results

I think we should endeavor to scrape everything, and periodically re-run our scraper to capture new stuff. Remember that the immediate goal of this project is to output JSON. An application further down the data food chain will consume that JSON and can provide search functionality there.

Oh, then I think Sandman would be great because it allows you to easily make JSON REST access to data:
