Hey @nathansgithub 👋

Sorry to see that there isn't a public Legistar for us to automatically pull data from. If you are still interested in deploying a CDP instance the next step would be to build a scraper to parse info from the council meetings pages (I think it's this one: https://www.greensboro-nc.gov/government/city-council/council-meetings) into our data ingestion format.

Here is some documentation on our data ingestion format: https://councildataproject.org/cdp-backend/ingestion_models.html
And here is where our library of scrapers live: https://github.com/councildataproject/cdp-scrapers
And here is the "empty" version of the get_events function to write: https://github.com/CouncilDataProject/cdp-scrapers/blob/main/cdp_scrapers/instances/empty.py#L12

You can do whatever you want in that function, web scraping, hitting an API, etc. You just need to return a list of the EventIngestionModel.

Let me know if you are interested and just need some help or something else. Also feel free to join our Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/councildataproject/shared_invite/zt-1di647hea-I6zrVU7nNy1TokjCGJE6qQ

Thanks @evamaxfield! I will take a stab at it when I have a chance.
