Nilay Kumar developed two data archiving features for the catalyst-cooperative/pudl-archiver repository over a two-month period, focusing on automating the ingestion and management of environmental datasets. He built the EPA PCAP Data Archiver, enabling end-to-end download and storage of Excel and PDF files, and enriched metadata management to support traceability and compliance. In the following month, he implemented the EIA RECS Data Archiver, which automated the discovery and archiving of historical datasets using Python and HTML parsing. His work incorporated CI/CD updates and YAML configuration, establishing reproducible workflows that improved data availability and reduced manual collection for analytics and reporting.
February 2025 — pudl-archiver: Delivered the EIA RECS Data Archiver feature, enabling automated download, storage, and provenance of historical EIA RECS data across years. The work includes HTML parsing to discover dataset links, archiving of data files and the original survey forms, and CI/CD/dependency updates to support the archiver. This lays the groundwork for scalable ingestion of additional datasets and reduces manual data collection efforts, accelerating analytics and reporting workflows.
