Expand Up @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ This is the basic Python code behind the [@big_cases Twitter bot](http://twitter

The bot uses PACER RSS feeds to gather the latest filings from 74 U.S. District Courts and five federal courts of appeals and stores the docket entries in a database. It matches new filings against a preselected list of major cases, scrapes matching documents from PACER, uploads them to both a [DocumentCloud](http://www.documentcloud.org) project and the RECAP archive, then posts the results on Twitter.

Note that some federal district courts -- including those in the Eastern District of Virginia, the District of Maryland and the District of Hawaii -- have elected not to publish an RSS feed from their dockets. As a result, Big Cases can't follow cases in those districts. Most federal courts of appeal also do not pulbish RSS feeds of new docket entries.

(A separate part of the bot gathers docket information from the U.S. Supreme Court's electronic filing system.)
