member-directory-detection

What problem does it solve?

Guides logic for finding the member/company directory link on chamber of commerce websites. Use when adding or modifying logic in dirFinder/2.py or related dirFinder code for directory detection, scoring, content verification, or nav expansion.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-stage pipeline that finds a member directory URL by applying a structured strategy starting from landing pages to deeper navigation, with re-ranking and verification.
• Re-ranking and validation using internal signals (_page_directory_score, _verify_candidates) to distinguish genuine member listings from other directory-like pages.
• Practical guidance for developers to edit dirFinder/2.py and adapt the detection strategy for new sites or edge cases.

Quick Start

Update the dirFinder/2.py workflow to apply the member-directory-detection strategy when locating member directories, and run a test crawl on a representative chamber site.
