Over the last few weeks, we have been hard at work on a range of improvements to MuckRock and DocumentCloud, but FOIA fans have something special to celebrate: We’ve imported many of the requests from FOIAonline into a searchable database which allows you to filter, browse and even re-request almost 170,000 requests with just a few clicks.

The DocumentCloud navigation bar got a redesign, Premium Add-Ons are more prominently displayed, AI credit balances are easier to find, python-documentcloud drops Python 2 support, and Squarelet gives you a notice to contact your admins to approve your request to join an organization.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve rolled out a new donation page, just in time for NewsMatch. We’ve also worked to revamp the DocumentCloud homepage with more information, along with adding the ability to pin your favorite DocumentCloud features more easily.

The DocumentCloud team is pleased to introduce a new way to upload responsive documents from your MuckRock requests directly to DocumentCloud, three powerful new OCR tools and several enhancements to our Python wrapper for the DocumentCloud API. These updates will help you upload documents more efficiently and provide better error tracking.

The MuckRock and DocumentCloud teams have made several platform upgrades and improvements, feature integrations and open source contributions over the last two months including editable titles of MuckRock requests, new Add-Ons for entity extraction, improving access to our DocumentCloud API and open sourcing our data and analysis techniques for our editorial collaborations.
