Lobbyist employers from Cal-Access

The Secretary of State's website has some lobbying data but no data files to download beyond the 4+ gigabyte daily updated ZIP file that contains the contents of the entire Cal-Access system. That's way too much to deal with when we just want to know questions like:

  1. How much are organizations spending to lobby California's government? Who are they?
  2. Which organizations are lobbying on particular bills?

The scrape.ts script will download all of the lobbyist employers for a session, how much they spent per quarter, and what they lobbied on into a .json file.

It runs on Github Actions once a day to update the data for the current session. If the icon below is green, the last scrape was successful. If the scrape failed the icon will be red.
