Description

The website now uses a [new search engine](https://www.eduskunta.fi/FI/search/Sivut/vaskiresults.aspx?k=eduskuntatunnus%3ALA#Default=%7B%22k%22%3A%22eduskuntatunnus%3ALA%22%2C%22o%22%3A%5B%7B%22d%22%3A1%2C%22p%22%3A%22AsiakirjatyyppiKoodi%22%7D%2C%7B%22d%22%3A1%2C%22p%22%3A%22ValtiopaivavuosiTeksti%22%7D%2C%7B%22d%22%3A1%2C%22p%22%3A%22AsiakirjaNroTeksti%22%7D%5D%7D) that is going to be even more fun than the previous one to work with. The pages are full of convoluted JavaScript, and the headers are incomprehensible.

**Update, December 2015.** Someone emailed to say that their own scrapers for the website were also dead, and that all information that pre-dates the current legislature is gone. The only way to scrape new legislation is to download the ASPX pages of each bill sequentially, using their ID numbers.
