Denali OIG has a new website #207

Closed divergentdave closed 9 years ago

divergentdave commented 9 years ago

I'm checking for scrapers that have silently broken due to website changes, (PR soon) and it looks like the Denali OIG has a brand new website, in part because they have a new Acting Inspector General. The first problem is that the site needs a new scraper written. The second problem is that all of the pre-2013 reports don't appear on the new site. Should we hang on to an old archive in unitedstates/reports per #204?

(ref. #161)

If we have to, yes, though that'd be an annoying outcome. The Denali reports are currently backed up in the Internet Archive, so we're not in imminent danger of losing them.

I think the next two TODOs are:

I'm happy to call the new OIG, their number is (206) 220-7970. They also have a shiny new Twitter account, and I've turned on push notifications for all tweets from them.

Upon closer inspection, there actually are pre-2013 reports on the website. I'm not sure what I was looking at.

Semiannual reports are all there, inspection reports are all there, and the entire financial/performance reports have been posted, rather than extracts of the IG-written sections. However, the 2007 financial/performance report isn't posted. (IA link) None of the GAO decisions were posted, but we weren't scraping those anyway.

Closing as good enough.
