Being a datahoarder I stumbled on a way to harvest student ID pictures from an exam authority in sub-saharan africa. No illegal hacking involved, just exploiting a predictable URL format.
Have now gathered 2.8 million of them, about 90gb, spanning about a decade of student exams. Typical ID format, face & shoulders only, often quite small (20-50kb), no metadata besides year, exam type & region.
Is there any monetary value to this? Any open source projects that need such data?
