[PROJECT IDEA] IFRC Appeals list

[stevieflow]

Rationale

Alongside Humanitarian Response Plans (HRP) and GLIDE Emergency codes, another humanitarian list of appeals exists via the IFRC: https://www.ifrc.org/appeals?date_from=&date_to=&appeal_code=&text=&page=1

Right now, this is not supported by the IATI standard, as there is no humanitarian-scope vocabulary space for it. However, this can be progressed, and a useful first step could be to scrape a list that could be situated alongside others at https://codelists.codeforiati.org/

Proposal

To scrape / pull the IFRC Appeals list and provide it as a codelist at https://codelists.codeforiati.org/

The exact methodology on doing this may include scraping https://www.ifrc.org/appeals?date_from=&date_to=&appeal_code=&text=&page=1, but might also involve the API: https://goadmin.ifrc.org/docs/

Additionally I know that the @mcarans is in the process of pulling this into a list for https://data.humdata.org/ , so we could pull from that

Regardless, it'd be important to present some list , in order to then advocate for the additional vocabulary - and having this in the same suit as other humanitarian lists would be very useful
