OpenGov Scraper

Today we are releasing the OpenGov Scraper

If you are a regular watcher of Polkadot Governance, this is for you! It's a small Jupyter Notebook (Python script) that helps you to fetch the 100 latest proposals into an Excel file. (no coding skills necessary)

The data is fetched from the Polkassembly API. The script conveniently adds the current USD value (or the USD value at the time of execution if that already happened)

The notebook comes with instructions and should be usable for you even if you don't have coding skills but a Google account.

This is only the first prototype, and we will keep iterating on the OpenGov Scraper. We are especially looking for feedback on how to develop this further. We plan to develop the scraper into a state where we can provide an always-updated Google spreadsheet of the ongoing Governance proceedings.

Check out the Notebook here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Rwu8Xw2k6EsxtVc%5Ff6rEQYL1CBqTqc5Y#scrollTo=cWk-rOIwcez5
