Files
The files are in 2 different places:
E:\McNair\Projects\USITC
The Postgres SQL Server:
128.42.44.182/bulk/USITC
The results.csv file found here,
E:\McNair\Projects\USITC
is a csv of the data that I have been able to scrape from the HTML of https://www.usitc.gov/secretary/fed_reg_notices/337.htm
For every notice paper, there is a line in the CSV file that contains the Investigation Title, Investigation No., link to the PDF on the website, Notice description, and date the notice was issued
I have also downloaded the PDFS from the website. These are the pdfs that are in the csv file. Some of the PDFS were no able to be downloaded. The PDFs are here
E:\McNair\Projects\USITC\pdf_copy
These files were downloaded using the script on the Postgres Server. There are issues downloading PDFs onto the remote windows machine for some reason. You must download the PDFs on Postgres and transfer them to the RDP. The script to download the PDFS is
128.42.44.182\bulk\USITC\download
Using the pdf scraper from previous project found here
E:\McNair\software\utilities\PDF_RIPPER
An example of PDF parsing that works parsing this PDF: https://www.usitc.gov/secretary/fed_reg_notices/337/337_959_notice02062017sgl.pdf
E:\McNair\Projects\USITC\Parsed_Texts\337_959_notice02062017sgl.txt
There exists PDFs where the parsing does not work completely and the text is scrambled.
Status
Check my work log to see what I have done on a day to day basis
Currently the web scraper is able to gather all of the data that I can gather from the HTML. There are a few cases where the Investigation Number is not listed and I need to test for those and fix that in the code.
Next steps will be to parse the PDFS, currently running a script to convert them to text
Currently running a shell script to download the PDFs. Downloaded most of the PDFs. There were errors download some of the files.
