Question: tools for automated data access
I would like to automate/script some of the work on the submission processing. For that I would preferably like to access various datasets in a machine-readable format, e.g. via an API endpoint. This includes:
- Submissions in the pool and their metadata
- Manuscript source (for bibliography and author parsing)
- Fellow profiles
Is any of this possible? I realize that I can also use selenium, but I would prefer to do things in a cleaner way. The main application that I consider is finding possible matches between fellows (including myself) and submissions.
