Tasks

• Scrape links to drop box for each instance
• Force download files in drop box links
• Recursively explore folders within folders and download files within each of them

Scraping Plan
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department website should be pretty straightforward to scrape, since all the links to dropbox are provided in links on one web page.

Next steps will be to get the metadata in JSON from HTML, figure out how to download files from dropbox links and make sure we are comprehensively downloading all files in nested Dropbox folders. We hypothetically can force download files from dropbox links by modifying the urls (adding dl=1) so will need to see if that works out.
