As the Digital Services Act creates new data access rights, regulators must ensure tools meet researchers' practical needs. We need reliable, standardized, well-documented data—not just access!!
The future of independent digital media research depends on this.

This cross-platform, cross-country research has never been done at this scale. Our dynamic workflow handles structural variations between donations and platforms, which is cool and crucial for field research where code can't break.

**But** technical fixes obviously aren't enough...

The technical challenge: Each platform uses different formats (HTML, JSON, JS) with structures that change without notice. Only X documents its format. Our solution automatically identifies data fields, maps variables in nested structures, and extracts info while avoiding sensitive data.
