Enable KURSNET-data to be used as embedded offer

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Motivation

Courses for language classes and job trainings are centrally organized by BAMF and BA in a database called KURSNET. After a few years of communication we found out that different organizations just use the data from KURSNET in their own platform, altough there is not really an official API.

Having the data from KURSNET in Integreat brings a huge value to our platform. In 2019 more that 25 municipalities signed a open letter to BA/BAMF to provide an official API.

Proposed Solution

It's still unclear if those data have an official API or needs to be crawled. We have found this but it needs to be checked: https://github.com/AndreasFischer1985/weiterbildungssuche-api

Also we might crawl the data from the platform (https://web.arbeitsagentur.de/sprachfoerderung/home). For Integreat we are just interested in the data which are categorized as "Sprachförderung und Migration" which is sub-categorized into 4 further topics. A design expert might think of if we visualize alle 4 sub-categories in one list (but with different icons) or not.
