About this dataset

Update Script Maintenance Report

Date: 2026-03-03

Modernized scraper compatibility in scripts/scrape.js:
- switched source page to HTTPS,
- replaced deprecated path.existsSync with fs.existsSync,
- migrated OSGB36 conversion from unmaintained proj4js usage to proj4,
- added missing CLI command wiring in npm scripts.
Reworked force metadata collection to use live API endpoint https://data.police.uk/api/forces.
- npm run scrapelinks now stores force metadata in cache/linklist.json.
- npm run scrapeforces now writes data/forces.csv and data/forces.json from API results.
Added package.json and lockfile for reproducible local/CI runs.
Added first GitHub Actions automation workflow at .github/workflows/actions.yml to refresh metadata on schedule.
Updated scripts/README.md to document runnable commands.
