#Public data pub ##a project of Blazing db ##I have been an amateur dev for about 4 months, so go easy on me :) This project will scrape availible international economic data from multiple sources for quick visualization and transformation. I have never heard of Google public data and I am totally not just rebuilding it with the flask framework.

I keed I keed. For real though googlle pub data is a place to upload data for simple visualisations on single sources this place gets the data for you first and smoothly combines hetrogenous sources. I would like this to eventually be a platform from which live modeling and research can be done on pubic data.

####What can you do yo help?

Right now, the python scripts are in the bin folder, and they only really work for the UN and World Bank APIs. #######info on WB api http://data.worldbank.org/querybuilder #######info on UN api http://data.unhcr.org/wiki/index.php/API_Documentation

Next we will be adding sources! Send pushes with seperate sctips that return json from whichever soure interests you. Ideally, do this after running the current scripts and try to get the data to return in the same structure/format.
