Coverage: which governments we track and how
13 governments in Rutherford, Wilson, Maury and Sumner counties are read automatically every day. Two large producers are added from manual downloads because their sites ask automated tools not to download documents, and we respect that.

Why some governments are manual
Rutherford County publishes Regional Planning Commission and BZA agendas in document folders whose robots.txt asks all automated tools not to crawl. Murfreesboro's Agenda Center blocks automated document downloads. We don't work around either. Instead, the publisher downloads those PDFs in a normal browser each week and adds them, and we have asked both governments for an approved feed. Their items may appear a day or two later than other towns'.
Mt. Juliet agenda items and recorded votes come from its open Legistar data service; its PDF staff reports sit on a host that asks crawlers not to fetch them, so we link to them instead of reading them.
Not yet automated: Maury County, Sumner County, Eagleville, Watertown. Their sites have few land-use items or did not respond to our checks.
How our crawler behaves: Zoning Docket bot.
