Problem Statement

Organizations relying on publicly available records face difficulties in automating data collection. Manual retrieval is time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. This project aimed to automate data extraction, processing, and distribution via email.

Solution

A Python-based system was developed to:

Extract data from judicial and law enforcement sources using Selenium and HTTP requests.
Process files by managing downloads, structuring storage, and retrying failed attempts.
Distribute data via automated email with logging mechanisms for transparency.

Implementation

Web extraction with Selenium for UI interaction and direct HTTP requests for static data.
Automated file management using OS and shutil for organization.
Email notifications via SMTP for real-time data access.
Retry mechanisms to ensure data completeness.
Scheduled execution to fetch records every 24 hours.

Impact & Benefits

✅ Time Savings: Eliminated manual data retrieval efforts.
✅ Cost Reduction: Removed human intervention costs.
✅ Accuracy Improvement: Reduced human errors in data collection.
✅ Real-time Data Access: Ensured timely updates every 22 hours.
✅ Scalability: Easily expandable to other data sources.
