  1. Fork this repo to your own GitHub account.
  2. Sign in to Morph with your GitHub account.
  3. Create a new scraper on Morph.
  4. Choose your forked repo (single_authority_planning_applications) as the scraper code.
  5. In the Morph settings page, create two Secret environment variables:
  6. Set MORPH_AUTHORITY_NAME to the name of your council, eg Hackney.
  7. Set MORPH_DAYS to the number of recent days you want to scrape, eg 7.
  8. Run the scraper.
