There are two similar issues of data items not captured by the API calls of the current Scraper. The first is a link that will place the meeting on the viewer's calendar f("ICS link"). This appears as a simple icon in column that uses the same icon in the header of the column. The second data item is the eComment link on the far right of the source table being "scraped". This link opens a comment page relating to the particular meeting.

Both links need to be acquired so that they can be placed on the Councilmatic web page. If the current API does not offer access to link data for either or both of these items then consider performing an actual scraping function to obtain the links.

All records in the 2019 calendar show the eComment as "Not available". Is this a temporary problem? Has this worked in the past? https://oakland.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx?G=15529D0E-EFE8-4C09-817E-CE554309072E
