Subscribed to it 👍 . Quick question about the RESTful API, is it maintained by the same 2020PB
community? or it's individual effort to provide convenient API for the same data set?
EDIT: Sorry, I just noticed that @949mac is the owner of the RESTful API repository 😊. I also posted some questions on that repo.
@amardeshbd, My API pulls directly from the data feed that @ubershmekel wrote. I'm actively involved with the team here :) And will continue to support them and you.
Happy coding!
What a champ @949mac hell ya
I've also set up a site to map and provide more local context and actions for readers (mayor and chief of police phone numbers, military equipment transferred under 1033). It's using the API from @nickatnight, but I can switch to using GitHub hosted json directly if that's preferable. Gatsby is pretty flexible...
@jlev - Thanks for integrating! Your project looks great. Can you show me an example of the 1033 transfer? That sounds interesting.
The 1033 program is where local police departments get surplus military equipment from the Defense Logistics Agency. They issue quarterly reports at https://www.dla.mil/DispositionServices/Offers/Reutilization/LawEnforcement/PublicInformation/ in a huge excel file.
Marshall Project has scripts to clean the file and all the quarterly reports archived from 2014-2020 https://github.com/themarshallproject/dod1033
@dannguyen is doing a bunch of work to clean that up and export to CSV by state and agency. https://github.com/dannguyen/dod-leso-1033-data
The v2 data json is live at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/2020PB/police-brutality/data_build/all-locations-v2.json
New things are:
Gonna update a few of the links soon, and update the readme
This is incredible as to how all the incident now has description! Amazing work by the community! 🙏
Here is a visual diff of schema change for v2
@949mac do you have any plan to integrate this into the existing 846-backend? I think this also needs to be versioned because of the link description.
@ubershmekel wow nice chief! Can't wait to integrate this into my api
