Xarthisius, I put my efforts and continue to coordinate common efforts with other helpers. But I'm wondering if this database is public, why does not Kentucky publish this information and make it publicly available for download as a single file? Performing repetitive operations is something of the Middle Ages. I have already dialed 109 times. |
That's a good question. Up till the middle of 2016, they didn't use CAPTCHAs at all. It was easy to scrape the whole db daily using automated software. Then one day, without any notification or official comment, captchas were added. As far as I know Britsimon sent an official request to KCC asking for an easy way to get access to the whole database, but they simply ignored him... And here we are, with the crowd-sourced campaign being the only reasonable way of getting the data.
