API to obtain metadata of all ITU recommendations? #9
Comments
So far the only way I can see is scraping URLs of the form |
@strogonoff the mechanism already exists, in https://github.com/metanorma/relaton-itu 😉 The |
@ronaldtse That’s glorious! |
@ronaldtse It looks like In perfect world we would have an ITU recommendation API—which we could actually build ourselves, starting with scraper logic in relaton-itu. Then relaton-itu could even use this API and simplify its logic, especially if we can get ITU to officially support/recognize the API. |
You're asking for a lot 😉 Hmm... But the ITU publications interface doesn't allow us to find by dates.
Yes we could do it, it would actually be a great case for Relaton. But how do we get the data...? It's going to be a nightmare to integrate with their existing document system... |
What I thought:
[0] this is the big one. Obviously having an API enables various unexpected uses and opens possibilities, but that’s a difficult point to get across. Beyond that abstract idea, we don’t have many concrete use cases to show. If we want bibliography, they’d say we already have it through Relaton’s scraping; and beyond that we only want it for OB generation |
This may be helpful since we’d be able to obtain recommendation details (link, publication data, status, etc.) automatically, letting authors only specify the code.
For example, author writes E.164 and we will be able to fill in the date or other details as requested.
