Session Goal

The session aimed to improve error handling in API calls for legislative document processing and automate the creation of a book from Markdown files.

Key Activities

  • Implemented a Python loop to handle ‘502 Bad Gateway’ errors during API calls, ensuring continuous processing of legislative documents.
  • Proposed resetting the api_responses variable in each loop iteration to prevent API response accumulation in Markdown files.
  • Developed a Python script to consolidate multiple Markdown files into a single document, automating the process and ensuring proper ordering and separation.
  • Provided a style guide for standardizing Markdown documents in legislative analysis.
  • Utilized BeautifulSoup for extracting titles and subtitles from HTML, focusing on <h3> tags and Roman numerals.
  • Integrated section headers into legal documents, maintaining logical order and grouping articles correctly.
  • Adapted functions to extract articles, titles, and chapters from HTML, ensuring proper sequence and detection.

Achievements

  • Improved error handling in API processes.
  • Automated Markdown file consolidation into a single document.
  • Established a consistent style guide for Markdown documents.
  • Enhanced HTML data extraction and integration for legal documents.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the error handling loop with diverse API errors.
  • Validation of the Markdown consolidation script with larger datasets.
