Inspiration
When reading the news, I always wanted a directed source for when officials were being quoted.
What it does
A user-friendly feed for accessing exterior ministry statement, sortable by automatically generated keywords.
How I built it
It uses web crawlers by import.io to access the statements directly from the government website. It then uses indico.io machine learning api to generate keywords for each entry and store them together with other information in mongo DB. The user can query the keywords and only be shown the statements that relate to a specific topic.
Challenges I ran into
Integrating indico.io into mongo DB proved very difficult due to lacking documentation.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Integerating UK and US feeds using machine learning APIs.
What I learned
Machine learning APIs
What's next for Gov Feed
Expand the number of countries crawled by Gov Feed. Enabling to sort query results chronologically and by relevance.
