Data status

Open Senedd collects the Senedd's published data every day. This page shows when each part was last collected, what the database holds, and what is still missing.

Figures on this page were checked at 16:45 on 22 October 2026, UK time.

Daily collection

Known gaps

What is missing or incomplete at the moment, worked out from the data.

  • The Sixth Senedd has its Members, seats, changes of party and posts, but its transcripts, votes and written questions haven't been imported yet.
  • For the Seventh Senedd, written questions haven't been imported yet.
  • Committee names are in English only: none of the 48 committees we show has a Welsh name in our data yet, so the Welsh pages show them in English.
  • 802 of the 805 committee contributions made in English have no Welsh translation in the Record, so the Welsh pages show them in English.
  • 1 contribution made in Welsh has no English translation in the Record, so the English pages show it in Welsh.
  • 23 of the 37 Members' posts have no Welsh title.
  • 11 meetings that have already been held don't have a transcript in our data yet.
  • 10 of the 10 committee meetings with a transcript have no attendance record.
  • No opinion polls have been entered yet.

Our collector

The pipeline identifies itself to the Senedd's websites as OpenSeneddBot, with a link to this page. It makes only a few requests at a time to each site, spaces them out, and waits before trying again when a site is busy. If it causes you a problem, email feedback@datblygu.cymru.
