CH Press Crawler

This is an open source / open data project that tries to create a platform which crawls important Swiss publication sources like newspapers, TV clips, parliament proceedings and more. It should then provide notifications when certain things are mentioned.

Here are a few use cases:

  • A political party wants to observe the parliament proceedings and get notified when one of their core topics is being discussed.
  • A club / association wants to collect press coverage.
  • A company wants to get notified when legislation is discussed that affects their industry.

This project tries to bring more transparency to the Swiss media landscape, including political discussions.

The project is still at the very beginning, so nothing really works yet. The following data sources are currently being worked on:

  • Curia Vista (database of parliamentary proceedings)

License

Right now, this project is licensed under the AGPLv3. That might change to a more permissive license in the future.
