The current elements of code available concern in particular the collection of data from an API, and the direct collection of data from html pages, conversion to XML and extraction of the relevant information. On the basis of this, a consistent code will be written that can run to i) query the API, and, when not possible, gather data from html pages, ii) do so in a manner limiting to the maximum the load on the corresponding servers iii) apply to the 6 sources.
