Laravel application to monitor parliament petitions at regular intervals

Parliament Petition Monitor

More documentation to come over the next few days.

This is a Laravel 5.7 application. Its purpose is to record the counts of votes on a UK Parliament open petition at regular intervals to allow trends to be analysed.

Current open petitions can be found here:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions?state=open

Artisan Commands

• petition:create-petition - Add a petition, or update a petition metadata
• petition:fetch-votes - Fetch and store current vote counts for a petition.
• petition:fix-data - temporary data fixer as the data model is refined in early stages.

TODO

This list will likely grow:

• Document commands.
• Set schedule in data.
• Support enable/disable flag.
• Disable a schedule when a petition closes.
• Front-end reporting and data export.
• Installation instructions.
• Automatically update petition metadata on any substantive change (e.g. milestones).
• With lots of jobs scheduled, it may be worth running them from a queue so jobs could be run in parallel.
