This repository contains the collated price data of petroleum products across EU countries and the UK, which is published in the Weekly Oil Bulletin through the European Commission. More information on the bulletin can be found here: https://energy.ec.europa.eu/data-and-analysis/weekly-oil-bulletin_en
The data is stored in data/db, with a two identical files - one in binary (.rds) and in text (.csv) formats.
Both files have identical contents.
The bulletin is released as a PDF file containing a list of prices (links to xls or xlsx files).
Based on the PDF and publishing dates, download links for individual bulletins are created, downloaded and re-formatted for storing in the database.
A central log file tracks the status of downloads and data base creation, and is updated on each run.
