About this dataset

Update Script Maintenance Report

Date: 2026-03-03

  • Ran scraper successfully (python scraper.py) and refreshed DAC/CRS source/data files.
  • Updated workflow token usage to ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} in .github/workflows/scrape.yml.
  • Added explicit workflow permissions:
    • contents: write
    • pull-requests: write
  • This removes dependency on a custom TOKEN secret and improves automation reliability.
