List of WSS endpoints for parachains (OR Is there a way to parse typescript code into JSON or other python readable object?)

Question

I would like to programmatically get a list of all the WSS urls for parachains. I don't know if this is available anywhere, but I have not seen it. This source code has what I want, but it is in the form of a TypeScript function. I tried to paste the code into a JSON object, but I don't think my JSON skills are good enough to get it to work, besides that would require manual updating. Anyone have a better, or more automated idea?

There's a new collaboration project called the polkadot_network_directory. I'm hoping that this may solve this:

PRs welcome if the data you need isn't there. (I'm hoping that npm and crate packages might be built off the back of this.)
