eSCRIBE Public Meetings Reference

Raleigh publishes public meeting information through its eSCRIBE publication site.

Base URL

https://pub-raleighnc.escribemeetings.com/

The meeting listing is available at:

https://pub-raleighnc.escribemeetings.com/?MeetingViewId=2

The City links to this site from its agendas and minutes page.

Meeting Detail

https://pub-raleighnc.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id={id}&lang=English

Historical meetings are loaded by the site's own read-only page method:

POST /MeetingsCalendarView.aspx/PastMeetings?MeetingViewId=2&Year={year}
{"type": "{meeting type}", "pageNumber": 1}

The adapter discovers meeting types from the public listing, follows the reported pagination count with a fixed page ceiling, and normalizes the result.

Parser Strategy

The adapter parses server-rendered HTML for:

• Meeting ID and canonical URL
• Body/committee
• Date, time, and location
• Agenda, agenda package, and minutes links
• Video or stream links

Notes

• This is an HTML scraper, not a documented JSON API.
• Parser failures are explicit rather than silently incomplete.
• Document downloads are performed only when requested.
• Historical pagination has a fixed per-type page ceiling.
• The legacy Legistar site is not used as a fallback.
