Get all Proposal Names from the Participant Portal

I've found out the participant portal for H2020 offers an API. This is quite neat as one can integrate with the data, e.g. by reading and listing the calls. I've written a proof of concept to list all calls from this and last years.

First, we load the data in a JSON object:

raw = urllib.urlopen("http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/data/call/h2020/calls.json").read()
data=json.loads(raw)

Then, we extract the year:

currentYear = datetime.date.today().year
print currentYear    # debug

Lastly, we iterate through all calls and extract the ones we need:

for call in data['callData']['Calls']:
    callName = call['CallIdentifier']['FileName'].split('-')

    if (callName[0].lower() == 'erc'):
        year = int(callName[1])

        if (year >= currentYear - 1):
            print "%04d - %s" % (year, call['CallIdentifier']['FileName'])
pass

For the calls API, you can have access to the following information (fields):

• CallIdentifier

  • FileName - e.g. "h2020-ecsel-2015-2-ia-two-stage-master"
  • CallId - e.g. "H2020-ECSEL-2015-2-IA-two-stage-Master"

• hasForthcomingTopics

• hasOpenTopics - e.g. false,

• allClosedTopics - e.g. true,

• Title - e.g. "H2020-ECSEL-2015-2-IA-two-stage",

• FrameworkProgramme - e.g. "H2020",

• CapFpDivisionsNames

• MainSpecificProgrammeLevel1Name - e.g. "INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP",

• MainSpecificProgrammeLevel1Description - e.g. "Industrial Leadership",

• SP_color - e.g. "YELLOW",

• PublicationDate - e.g. "17 March 2015",

• PublicationDateLong - e.g. "1426550400000"
