Timeseries for UK parliamentary petititions

This dataset contains a timeseries with the number of people who have signed petitions to UK parliament at many timepoints from July 2016 until November 2022. It is not comprehensive -- at each timepoint only recently popular petititions are captured, from https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions.json?state=open .
