My app currently parses all the data automatically from the respective federal/cantonal government websites. I thought about getting the politicians from the local communities, but then I would have to parse the websites of ~2400 communities. Also I do not know how many communities even publish this information. So for me it is currently to much work, unless the government enforces a law to publish this data in a standard way.
The app does not keep track of people at all. Each new parsing deletes the old data.
Thanks for the point about the executive and judical branches. That would be something interesting to add.
- KamelAufAbwegen 9y agoPretty cool, thanks. I started once to index all switzerland government websites with yacy. I could index admin.ch and almost all cantons easy. But some city websites did not answer if it was not "a browser" or "google" who asked for the website ;-)
