App or project title and description
Micro services for open data
What problem does your app or project solve?
The APIs for some of the open data portal being used by upstate cities can be complex and difficult to use. This project would create a set of very simple, tightly-scoped APIs that sit on top of upstate open data portals and make it easier for developers to use them. For example, an API could be built on top of the Syracuse open data portal allowing a consumer to query for property ID by providing an address string.
In addition, these micro services could be used to abstract calls to multiple backend APIs, like a property lookup on a city open data portal and a business license check in the State of NY open data portal.
Who are the users of your app or project?
Application developers and other data consumers. Events like Open Hack and Hack Upstate could be good venues to work with developers to identify use cases for these micro services.
Details about the dataset you want to use
This project would use a variety of data sets already available from city governments and the State of New York.
What kind of help do you need?
