Welcome to swarm picker

This is a small app to help teams pick a swarm idea from a list of topics from a bertha URL. It uses client side javascript and makes use of the FT interactive team's tool, Bertha.

Constructing a URL

https://bertha.ig.ft.com/{view|republish}/publish/gss/{spreadsheetKey}/{sheetNames}

view/republish

view: serve the JSON from the cache, but make it first if it doesn't exist. republish: purge the cache and serve a fresh version of the JSON. spreadsheetKey The Google Key of the Spreadsheet. Get this from the URL of the spreadsheet.

sheetNames

A comma separated list of sheet names (as they appear in the tabs in the spreadsheet).

Examples:

/Sheet1
/Sheet1,Sheet2,Sheet3
Not all sheets need to be included in the JSON.

Sheets are be optional if prepending with a '+'. In the example below the foo is a mandatory sheet but bar and baz are optional:

/foo,+bar,+baz

A complete example might look like this:

https://bertha.ig.ft.com/view/publish/gss/ewrew98uiewr-809832432321mdwl/data,options,credits

Show me the swarms!
