Beehive Data

Setup

1. bundle install
2. npm install # install node modules
3. Create .env file in root folder (see sample below)
4. rake db:create db:setup SAVE=true

Sample .env file

DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost/beehive-data_development
DATABASE_URL_TEST=postgres://username:password@localhost/beehive-data_test

Import Data

1. Import data from a grantnav JSON export or 360 Giving json file.

The whole file can be downloaded from http://grantnav.threesixtygiving.org/api/grants.json.

NB it is quite a big file so import may take a long time. You can speed things up by not including the Big Lottery Fund grants if that is helpful.

rake import:json FILE=~/path/to/file.json SAVE=true

1b. Import data from a 360 Giving CSV

Alternatively you can import data from a 360 Giving format CSV file. A list of these can be found in the 360 Giving data registry

rake import:csv FILE=~/path/to/file.csv SAVE=true

2. Add charity data

With a local copy of charitybase running (after importing the data into a mongodb database), add data from the mongodb database about recipient charities.

rake update:charity CHARITY_BASE_DB_URL=127.0.0.1:27017 SAVE=true

3. Add beneficiary data

Using regular expressions, extract information on the possible beneficiaries of grants, including beneficiary groups, age groups, etc.

rake update:beneficiaries SAVE=true

By default the task will only be run on grants with a state of "import", which should apply to any that have been importing using steps 1 and 2. The net can be widened by passing STATE=import,review (a comma-separated list of states to include).

Grants have their state set to "review" at the end of this step.

4. Add country data

Using regular expressions again add details on the countries and districts that grants operate in.

rake update:areas SAVE=true

Again the STATE flag can be used to control which grants are looked at. The default is "import" and "review" - so capturing any grants included in the previous 3 steps.

Meaning of state

The state variable for a grant tells you how far it is through the import process.

State	Grant created	Charity data added	Beneficiaries added	Areas added
import	Yes	Yes
review	Yes	Yes	Yes
approved	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
