We are thrilled to release our new website gastopublico.es after 48-hours of extreme hard work. We are more than proud of the result, the design, the cuantity and cuality of data is amazing. Even if we have been not been able to develop all services we wanted to do still there is so much interesting information that you can search for, comment and vizzualize….
One of the most difficult side has been the scraping of the public web site. Contrataciondelestado.es is one of the most difficult databases to scrap.
Another problem has been the need to understand the specialized glossary for public procurement (I am afraid I dont know the names in english but a good way to understand our difficulties could be to watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZBY7rIOrNg)
But we’ve not only had problems, we have enjoyed many other moments..and the proof is in eating the pudding (spanish translate: y para muestra un boton): http://www.flickr.com/photos/jatorre/sets/72157623758617921/
We don want to extend any more, we are going to celebrate it!!!
