Could you build this?
Partial The API layer itself is trivial, but aggregating, cleaning, harmonizing, and maintaining real-time scrapers/connectors across fragmented Moroccan public government datasets requires persistent data engineering.
What it would actually take: Architecture consists of a scraping and ingestion pipeline (Scrapy, Airflow/Prefect), normalized PostgreSQL/PostGIS database storage, and a FastAPI/Node.js REST gateway with auth and caching. The challenge lies in dealing with unstructured, changing government portals, missing documentation, disparate formats (PDFs, inconsistent Excel files), and locale-specific Arabic/French NLP extraction.
