Less columns is messing up loader in acs_mo csv

brendanbabb commented 2 years ago

Additional info from Sharon:


If Code for Anchorage will write a more robust data loader, let me introduce you to three new data sets to replace the ones you used before.

https://public.courts.alaska.gov/web/majic/sandbox/acs_mo_cr_case_most_recent_event_1705.csv

https://public.courts.alaska.gov/web/majic/sandbox/acs_mo_cr_case_most_recent_event_0645_addon.csv

https://public.courts.alaska.gov/web/majic/sandbox/acs_mo_cr_case_most_recent_event_1145_addon.csv

By the file name, you can tell they all include minor offense and criminal cases. The numbers represent the military hours when the snapshot is taken. Addon files populate the “is_add_on” flag to show which events are newer since the 1705 hour (5:05pm) the day before, and yet contain the complete set of all future events for criminal and minor offense cases. The “is_add_on” flag in the 1705 file will always be false.

All three files can be used independent of each other. Column headers are self-explanatory.

I think you will find these three new data sets more valuable.

@brendanbabb When I download acs_mo_event.csv I still 10 columns:

"event_dt","last_name","first_name","address","crtroom","start_tm","ticket_nbr","actn_code","actn_description","pay_now"

The pay_now column seem to always be empty, but the lines all end with a comma which makes one more empty column in the data.

This has been fixed
