fix(miss): Fix Mississippi scraper
Small modification to repair Mississippi court scraper. The parameter passed to do a POST was changed from {crt: 'SCT'} to {court: 'SCT'}
We can merge this, but our bigger issue with MS right now is that our IP addresses are blocked. Do you have a connection there?
Hi! I was just testing all the scrapers and wanted to help by repairing some of them based on the report I received from sample_caller.py. So, I started with the simplest one but didn't take into consideration that your IPs were blocked. I used a VPN since I'm not from the USA; using an IP from anywhere but the USA results in being blocked. (I also don't have a connection in MS. :/)
Gotcha. We're monitoring these pretty closely, but if you're interested helping, I'm sure @flooie or @grossir could help suggest the best place where things aren't working?
Thank you!
No problem. It was @grossir who told me about this project, so I asked him if I could help. I think he already mentioned me a few days ago, but I thought I could just start collaborating by submitting some PRs. Could you advise on the best way for us to coordinate? Should I wait for a response from @flooie or @grossir on this PR? Thanks!
Hi @giancohs Great to have you, sorry for not responding earlier.
I'm going to tag you in some issues that I think could be great to start on. Sorry that you grabbed this one that is in the middle of a block outside of our control.
No worries! I will look at those issues.
@giancohs - this court refuses to let us scrape - and blocks all attempts - So we have moved on to uploading directly with volunteers.
