How we get it

None at present. Public-records requests (Wis. Stat. 19.35) to each department and a data-feed request to the vendor are prepared (docs/requests/).

Terms

Public records published by each health department. healthspace.com has no robots.txt and no stated terms of use, but on 2026-10-01 it answered automated reading (about 150 requests at one a second) with a CAPTCHA bot challenge. We stopped and do not read it.

Known gaps

Blocked: the HealthSpace portal answered automated reading with a bot challenge (2026-10-01). No data from these 63 departments until records requests or a vendor export arrive.
Madison and Dane County publish separately (Public Health Madison & Dane County) and are collected.
Areas DATCP inspects directly are on DATCP's own portal, whose robots.txt disallows automated access; that data is not collected (see the DATCP sources).
No license number or operator name is published on these portals.
Tattoo/body-art and rec-ed camp inspections are not on these portals.
Pool, lodging and campground reports often print no violation tier; those citations are 'unknown'.

How violation severity is mapped

Every cited violation is filed as serious, non-serious or unknown. Unknown is never counted as a clean record.

The source says	We file it as	Note
Priority (FDA Food Code risk-factor item)	serious	Wisconsin Food Code; also printed as 'Critical' on older reports
Priority Foundation	non-serious
Core	non-serious	Also 'Non-critical' on older reports
No tier printed (common on pool, lodging and campground reports)	unknown
