Dictionary of all data sources? #31

Closed seanherron closed 10 years ago

seanherron commented 10 years ago

What are all the possible values I could pass in to data_source?

arowla commented 10 years ago

As of now, FBO or grants.gov.

seanherron commented 10 years ago

The docs read:

get results only from a particular data source, e.g. 'FBO', 'grants.gov'. Case sensitive.

implying that there are more potential values. Would probably be worth it to have a term dictionary (see https://github.com/18F/fbopen/issues/33) that describes all possible input and output terms and values.

arowla commented 10 years ago

@seanherron Rather than a static dictionary, how about a new API endpoint to hit and get all available data_sources?

marks commented 10 years ago

@arowla +1 The idea of enumerating the data source facets makes a lot of sense

arowla commented 10 years ago

Just created #57 to handle what this issue (and another) evolved into.
