Fetch US city council meeting agendas, minutes, and documents from major municipal government platforms. Supports PrimeGov, Granicus, Legistar, and CivicWeb — covering thousands of US municipalities. Input a platform type and client slug to retrieve meeting records normalized into a single schema.

Features

• Supports four municipal government platforms: PrimeGov, Granicus, Legistar, and CivicWeb.
• Returns meeting body, date, time, location, agenda status, document URLs, video URL, and source link for each meeting.
• Filter by date range (startDate / endDate) and governing body name (bodyName).
• Single flat output schema across all platforms — one query, one dataset.

Who Uses Municipal Meeting Data?

• Civic technology and government transparency tools — Track council votes, planning decisions, and public comment periods across municipalities.
• Real estate and land use intelligence — Monitor zoning hearings, planning commission approvals, and variance requests before they become public news.
• Local news and investigative journalism — Automate monitoring of city council, school board, and special district meetings.
• Government relations and lobbying — Follow agenda items relevant to clients across dozens of municipalities without manual calendar checks.
• Academic and policy research — Build longitudinal datasets of local government activity across cities and regions.

How It Works

1. Choose a platform (primegov, granicus, legistar, or civicweb) and provide the municipality's client slug (e.g. longbeach for Long Beach, CA on PrimeGov).
2. Optionally filter by date range or governing body name.
3. The scraper queries the platform's public API and returns normalized meeting records.

Platform & Client Slug Guide

Each platform assigns a slug to each municipality. Here are examples:

To find your city's slug: visit the city's portal (e.g. seattle.legistar.com) — the subdomain is the slug.
