I appreciate that this bot does not actually edit any pages. However, this seems the best way to achieve the data needed in the shortest time. It it also worth noting that this is looking to possibly be used to enhance wikipedia later on, attempting to gain discussion into buildings etc. that exist on the resulting tour.
