New DOT Numbers
Methodology
Each run reads an official file or API. A second run updates the same record and does not open a second page.
Processing
The importer stores the raw response apart from the public row. A page exists when the name, the portal, the date and a stable source id are present.
The census is read in a daily slice and a weekly pass. Carriers marked as individuals are left out of the monthly report and the widget.
Left out of reports and the widget
The monthly report and the embed widget do not include names of natural persons, street addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses or IP addresses.
They keep counts: day, city, region and legal form.
The carrier page does not publish a telephone number or an email address. Street addresses are not included in reports or the widget.
