Platform: publi.irisnet.be (Editoria)

Several communes use the regional publi.irisnet.be platform for publishing council documents:

This platform hosts OJs, PVs and other council documents. It's JS-rendered and could not be scraped via web_fetch, but the URLs are confirmed working.

Updated list (Lightpanda scrape):

Next Steps

  1. Browser-based scraping still needed for: Schaerbeek (React SPA), Molenbeek (Plone), Jette (Plone) — need headful browser
  2. Saint-Gilles: 2026 calendar not yet published — check again later or email
  3. Ganshoren: Council dates not on page — check ConnectedViews or email
  4. publi.irisnet.be exploration: Check which other communes use this platform
  5. Update communes.json with confirmed URLs, meeting dates, and video links

Remaining Gaps (3 communes)

Commune Issue Action Needed
Schaerbeek (1030) React SPA — no content renders Headful browser (Playwright)
Molenbeek (1080) Plone CMS — sessions page doesn't render Headful browser
Jette (1090) Plone CMS — same as Molenbeek Headful browser
Saint-Gilles (1060) 2026 calendar not yet online Check back later
Ganshoren (1083) Dates not on agenda page Email or check ConnectedViews
