Extracting Public Records from Government Websites

Public sector websites house a wealth of information that many of our clients find indispensable. While this information is openly accessible, manually extracting it can be a daunting task. Our solution? We expertly scrape this data and transform it into Excel sheets or any preferred format. Here's how we can empower you:

  • hourly/daily/weekly delivery of Excel files to your mailbox containing updates of information on data sources you specify (for example, latest lawsuits from a specific county, or lawsuits matching certain search criteria)
  • individual columns in those files will list  key information, for example, names, addresses, or whatever other information you specify
  • we’d extract this data from a publicly available records.
  • we can extract the textual data from any PDFs or images

The challenge

Public government records — court filings, licensing data, regulatory databases — are published on agency portals that vary widely in format, pagination, and technical access patterns. Extracting structured data at scale from these sources requires handling each portal’s unique interface while maintaining a consistent output schema.

Our approach

We build on-demand and recurring extraction pipelines for public government record portals. A typical engagement involves parameterized search across a portal, page-by-page extraction of individual records, field-level parsing into structured format, and automated delivery of results as CSV or direct database insertion.

Example project

A professional services firm needed recurring extraction of public filing records from a US municipal database. We built an automated pipeline that accepts search parameters, extracts matching records across paginated results, and delivers structured data on a scheduled cadence — replacing hours of manual copy-paste work per search.
