I scraped[1] data for about 3566 days, from 20120102 to 20220629. The website went down after 20220629, so I stopped getting new data.

I also talked to people at HOPCOMS, and they were reluctant to release daily data. I'm working on convincing them to release older data, at least a month old, or I might file an RTI for it.

I will release the archive of the data soon[2]
