Web analysis tool for Sunlight Foundation Web Integrity Project
A Flask-based website and Python scripts automating web analysis on federal government domains for the Sunlight Foundation’s Web Integrity Project. The website is designed to be hosted on an AWS EC2 instance, which calls Python programs to run on another AWS EC2 instance, and stores output onto a Google Drive account. This site structure flows from what capacities AWS provides in its free student account, so fedwedanalysis
will work on a AWS Free Tier.
It is recommended reaching the EC2 instances via Putty and FileZilla.
