### New Function:
```python
def extract_video_urls_from_instance(instance: dict) -> Dict[str, str]:
"""
Extract YouTube/Vimeo URLs from MeetingBank's 'urls' dictionary.
Extracts:
- urls['youtube_id'] -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID
- urls['vimeo_id'] -> https://vimeo.com/ID
- urls['archive_url'] -> https://archive.org/details/...
"""
```
### What You Get:
- **1,366 meetings** with video URLs
- **YouTube videos** (most meetings)
- **Vimeo videos** (some meetings)

## π Run All Three Integrations
### Step 1: Install Dependencies
```bash
cd /home/developer/projects/open-navigator
source venv/bin/activate
# Install HuggingFace datasets library and requests (if not already installed)
pip install datasets requests
# Optional: Install loguru if you get import errors
pip install loguru
```
### Step 2: Get Open States API Key (Optional)
```bash
# Sign up at: https://openstates.org/accounts/signup/
# Add to .env (create if doesn't exist):
echo "OPENSTATES_API_KEY=your-key-here" >> .env
# Or edit .env manually and add:
# OPENSTATES_API_KEY=your-actual-key
```
### Step 3: Run MeetingBank Integration
```bash
cd /home/developer/projects/open-navigator
source venv/bin/activate
python discovery/meetingbank_ingestion.py
```
**Expected**: 1,366 meetings with video URLs loaded to Bronze layer (5 minutes)
### Step 4: Run City Scrapers Integration
```bash
cd /home/developer/projects/open-navigator
source venv/bin/activate
python discovery/city_scrapers_urls.py
```
**Expected**: 100-500 agency URLs loaded to Bronze layer (2-5 minutes, depends on git clone speed)
**Note**: Requires `git` command to be available in your PATH for cloning repos
### Step 5: Run Open States Integration
```bash
cd /home/developer/projects/open-navigator
source venv/bin/activate
python discovery/openstates_sources.py
```
**Expected**: 50-100 video sources loaded to Bronze layer (1 minute)
**Note**: If you don't have an Open States API key, the script will warn you but won't crash
