Data Status
How current each dataset on this site is, and the last nightly refreshes. Automated sources reload every night at 3 a.m. Central; the rest are downloaded and loaded by hand on the cadence shown.

IL Secretary of State lobbying
The extract has no per-row date: the date is when the newest registration first loaded. |
By hand | weekly | 2026-02-15 | n/a | 256 | No threshold |
|
IRS 527 political organizations
Loaded by hand. The IRS file can be fetched weekly; automatic import waits on a loader fix. |
By hand | monthly (the IRS rebuilds the file every Saturday) | 2025-12-31 | n/a | 302 | No threshold |
|
IL Comptroller OpenBook contracts
A scrape, not a file: the date is the last completed scrape run. |
By hand | as needed | 2026-02-16 | n/a | 255 | No threshold |
"Latest data" is the newest record date in the dataset. Stale thresholds are deliberately generous: they flag a refresh that stopped, not normal filing lag.
