Shawn, we have a need to maintain a list of committee logos, most likely sourced solely from the committee Twitter/X accounts.
Some notes:
Committees will typically have two Twitter accounts: one for the majority party, and one for the minority party. For starters, we are only interested in the majority party logos.
Twitter can be known to block IP Addresses if it detects too many web bot style requests. We'll likely need to use the API. I can give you API keys.
The list of Twitter accounts should be saved as a JSON or YAML file as part of the repo. This allows us to make updates to it with a logging history of those changes.
The logos themselves should also be part of the repo, in a subfolder called "images/original". We will also have folders for resized versions of the same photos. This isn't crucial for the initial build out though. See this repo as an example: https://github.com/unitedstates/images
The scraping logic should be written in Typescript. Any API keys should be env variables not saved in the code.
A list of the accounts is forthcoming. I'll post it to this repo shortly.
