2. Sign in to Morph with your GitHub account.
3. Create a new scraper on Morph.
4. Choose your forked repo (single_authority_planning_applications) as the scraper code.
5. In the Settings page for your scraper on Morph, create two Secret environment variables:
6. Set MORPH_AUTHORITY_NAME to the name of your council, eg Hackney.
7. Set MORPH_DAYS to the number of recent days you want to scrape, eg 7.
8. Run the scraper.
