Emtract Ingest

Source situation

The official ways per jurisdiction by rank, and what the daily check finds from the server.

Legal Central names itself LegalCentral/1.0, contact: none. Every fetch reads robots.txt first. Disrupted means: not reachable on the last check. Blocked means: not reachable on 3 days in a row; it holds until a check reaches the host again. Fetching a law passes over blocked and bot protected hosts.

By hand only

Laws whose current text was handed in by hand because no automatic way works. Legal Central does not notice changes to them by itself: when a new version is due, hand in the official text again.
No law comes by hand only at present.
