Pipar

Open Data scrapper of political parties registries. Currently only for Ministry of Interior of Spain registry. Open to other countries!

It was meant to be OpenRPP (Registro de Partidos Políticos) but… Why not being open to international collaboration? So, it was meant to be OpenPPR (Political Parties Registry) but…
PPR, in Spanish, sounds like PePpeR so… Why not translating “pepper” to Íslenska?

That is how it got its name: Pipar. Now with more data. Available under MIT license.

Legal note: extracted data belongs to the corresponding institutions (Ministry of Interior of Spain et al) and it is released under CC0 or another fitting license, depending on country’s legislation of each registry.

Extractor Open Data de registros de partidos políticos. Actualmente sólo para el registro del Ministerio del Interior. ¡Abierto a más países!

Debió llamarse OpenRPP (Registro de Partidos Políticos) pero… ¿Por qué no hacerlo internacional? Así, debió llamarse OpenPPR (Political Parties Registry) pero…
PPR suena a PePper así que… ¿Por qué no traducirlo al Íslenksa?

Así es cómo acabó con este nombre: Pipar. Ahora con más datos. Disponible bajo licencia MIT.

Nota legal: la información extraída pertenece a las correspondientes instituciones (Ministerio del Interior y otros) y es liberada bajo CC0 o otra licencia adecuada a la legislación del país de cada registro.
