AP Harvester

============

[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/harvester/badge/?version=latest)](https://harvester.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

AP Harvester is an open source, collaborative data collection platform designed

to help newsrooms gather structured data at the speed of news. We built it to

lower the barriers in spinning up a new data collection project so that you can

get to the story faster.

AP Harvester is schema-driven, meaning you define the structure of the dataset

you want to collect and Harvester automatically renders a user-friendly form

through which a team of reporters can enter data as they collect it. It's built

to be flexible and transparent, allowing you to adapt as your data collection

needs change.

AP Harvester uses Google Sheets as a data storage mechanism, meaning you can

easily view and work with your data in a tool used by many newsrooms already.

Starting a new data collection project with AP Harvester is as easy creating

a new spreadsheet.
