Katherine Lamb enhanced the catalyst-cooperative/pudl-archiver repository by developing and refining the FERC Central Identifier (CID) Data Archiver, enabling automated download and management of CID resources in both CSV and XLSX formats. She implemented API integration and asynchronous programming in Python to streamline data retrieval from the FERC interactive data page, adding last-updated date extraction to improve data reliability. Katherine further integrated the ferccid dataset into the archiving workflow, introduced partitioned data structures, and standardized file naming conventions. Her work improved data accessibility, governance, and reproducibility, supporting more scalable analytics and robust workflow automation for CID-related datasets.
