SN: Investigate API

Question

SN: Investigate API

cyroxx opened this issue 4 years ago · 6 comments

Using our current crawler for Sachsen, I found an API:
https://schuldatenbank.sachsen.de/api/v1/schools

There is a lot of nice data (for example, schools and their different buildings are distinguishable), but I cannot see where the keys like school_category_key, company_number and the like) are described.

Maybe we can simply ask them kindly for some kind of API documentation? And if they don't reply, we could actually send a Freedom of Information request?

Answer 3 · 2021-01-11T18:32:49.000Z

turns out there is even a very nice Fast API Documentation 🥳

https://schuldatenbank.sachsen.de/docs/api.html

I was told, that the documention will also be available on their website in a couple of Days. I think we should use this in our scrapers

closing this issue, because its clear there is an API Documentation and opened a new ticket #114 to update the scraper
