I've been in on-and-off contact with Michael Morisy over at MuckRock, and one of the things that's come up is the API script that they're working on the export the FOIA requests and responses. Unfortunately, the script crashes after processing a few dozen, but not consistently - likely the result of character encoding issues. He's given me permission to share the in-progress script.

If anyone is able to look at the code and offer any ideas about solutions (or even pinpointing the problem), it'd be a great public service. I'm not code savvy enough to help, but I'm hoping someone on the list can bring in some fresh eyes and help MuckRock get the script working.
