Description

The web scraper will be used to get the data from publisher pages and existing APIs automatically. Any resources with information where researchers can publish at a waived or subsidised APC will be useful in providing content to the website. We will be looking to automate this process and make use of GitHub Actions or CI to extract the data and add to the GitHub pages.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the publisher pages and existing APIs that should provide APC information, then determine how the data should be extracted and added to the GitHub Pages site. The issue mentions GitHub Actions or CI but no files, tests, sources, or acceptance criteria; done would require an agreed automated workflow and published data.
