Update Script Maintenance Report

Date: 2026-03-04

  • Updated scripts/london_unemployment.py to fetch the source workbook using requests with browser-like headers before parsing via pandas.
    • This resolves HTTP 403 failures caused by direct pandas.read_excel(url) requests to the London Datastore endpoint.
  • Re-ran updater and refreshed:
    • data/data/unemployment-rate.csv
    • data/datapackage.json
  • Updated scripts/requirements.txt to modern, installable dependency ranges on current Python versions.
  • Modernized workflow automation in .github/workflows/actions.yml (schedule/manual triggers, explicit write permissions, current action versions).
