Can you tell us more?

According to Act No. 1/2023 Coll. on restrictive measures against certain serious acts applied in international relations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains a national sanctions list and publishes it on its website.

looks like it's worth getting the CSV or Excel link from the HTML if the link changes but the landing page URL stays the same

Here is the link to the CSV: https://mzv.gov.cz/file/5296648/Vnitrostatni_sankcni_seznam.csv

Let me know if you want me to write an importer for the CSV and the code to find CSV link on the page (I'm not sure this is a good idea, as it seems that each addendum to the sanctions list will have its own page and csv file)

@jbothma please advise

so it looks like https://mzv.gov.cz/jnp/cz/o_ministerstvu/otevrena_data/vnitrostatni_sankcni_seznam/index.html which is the csv link from https://mzv.gov.cz/jnp/cz/zahranicni_vztahy/sankcni_politika/sankcni_seznam_cr/vnitrostatni_sankcni_seznam.html was created in august and updated in december, while the file was updated in march. so I think the safest is to write a crawler that finds the file link at https://mzv.gov.cz/jnp/cz/o_ministerstvu/otevrena_data/vnitrostatni_sankcni_seznam/index.html, downloads the file, then extracts the entities from that CSV.

The earliest sanction was last year April, so there's a chance the page linking to it was different - hopefully they delete the old page if they create a new one then we'll find out.

Okay, taking this one.
