Installation

After cloning this repository, a few things must be done.

git clone https://github.com/rkiddy/ca_hhs.git
cd ca_hhs

First, set up the python environments. I have two, one in .venv and one in .senv. The first supports most of the fetching and saving activity. The second supports the selenium functionality that is necessary to get some of the data. Most of the pages have a 'Download All' button and, for those, it is fairly easy to use the requests module to get this files. Some of the datasets have the 'Download All' button disabled and, for those, one must use selenium. There are links on the dataset page, but they do not link to the resources. THey link to pages, each of which contains a link to one resource. I have no idea why this is and it seems a bit ridiculous, but there it is.
