Hi,

Thanks a lot Shiv! This is pretty awesome. 

I also wanted to get hold of break up of asset data into various categories( like movable assets, immovable assets, firm linkage etc). These details are available on the candidate level page ( for eg HERE) . DO you know if copy of such data exists? I am trying to scrap it .. but somehow the webserver response is highly erratic, as in the same script works partially and for arbitrary sets of pages. 

Thanks a lot again. 

best,

Hi Vaibhav

I'm not aware of a readily available data set that has asset breakup as mentioned by you. However, I remember one of the repositories that I provided the link for before consists of the code used for scraping this data. Maybe you can modify that to suit your needs?
