- Probed 2026-07-26: HTTP 403 to honestly-identified automated client (WAF). Recorded, not evaded. Research 2026-07-28: two partial rung-1 alternatives — (1) CBO's official GitHub org US-CBO publishes 15 budget/economic datasets as versioned CSVs with a DCAT catalog.json (github.com/US-CBO/cbo-data), which is data, not the publication stream; (2) CBO cost estimates for bills surface in api.congress.gov bill data (cboCostEstimates container: title/URL/date per estimate). Whether those two channels cover enough of CBO's output is a pending project decision; the newsroom itself stays unavailable.
How we ingest it
- Channel
- HTML index
- Method
- HTML index diff via AgencyClient (pending viability check)
- Request budget
- the agency class: at most 1,500 requests per day shared across every agency web source, counted from the fetch log (failed requests count too)
- Politeness
- robots.txt is honored as observed — including each host's crawl-delay, exactly — and every request identifies itself as fapd/0.1 (Free Agentic Publication Digester; +https://fapd.info/bot.html; contact: hustleyourcity@gmail.com); a refusal is recorded, never evaded
- Capture and hash
- captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md)
