Hey everyone! We’ve been working closely with cities for the last two years to build a uniform hub for their data, and we’re excited to finally unveil the developer side to the world. We’re aiming to provide the world’s civic data in one place, in real-time, and with a simple uniform API. Instead of wrangling a grab bag of flat files for each place you want to build for, you can use a single endpoint to get consistent/quality data at any geographic scale, and work with any city in the world. If you aren’t a developer, you can use this to explore what’s going on in the physical world around you. There’s still a lot of work to do, and you can find our roadmap here: https://municipal.systems/roadmap (Let us know if you want to see anything sooner!)
At absolutely no point in our dev team's existence did we find a huge need to have more than the model files and/or schema.rb as a schema reference. If you can't infer what you need to from there, then maybe web dev's not your bag, baby
