Building the data

To build the data in data/lscs/public, run:

TODO: Properly escape the jq commands so they work correctly in the Makefile to convert JSONP responses to JSON.

Data notes

The vintage of the LSC member data is unclear. The map title says 2019, the URL slug says 2018 and the API endpoint parameter is 2018.
