Release notes for Case Harvester version 1.2:

  • New case format parsers:
    • K: Circuit Court Criminal Cases
    • DSCP: District Court Civil Citations
    • DSTRAF: District Court Traffic Cases
    • PG: Prince George's County Circuit Court Criminal Cases
    • PGV: Prince George's County Circuit Court Civil Cases
    • MCCR: Montgomery County Criminal Cases
    • MCCI: Montgomery County Civil Cases
  • Monthly exports of all tables to S3 for public download
  • Auto-scale scraper service based on size of scraper queue
  • Added column_metadata table to hold info about column meaning and other attributes used in Case Explorer
  • Unredact civil cases
  • Miscellaneous parser fixes

This release also includes a workaround for a new anti-scraping measure that was added to the Maryland Judiciary Case Search. Worryingly, MJCS now also seems to have a half-completed reCAPTCHA implementation, which, if it were to be fully implemented and deployed, would make scraping significantly harder and would thus be a major blow to transparency of the MD court system.
