Broken API? #25

Closed roughani closed 9 years ago

roughani commented 9 years ago

WICit is down. It's returning an "Unable to load nearby locations" error. I think that the API connection broke when they launched the new https://chhs.data.ca.gov/. They mentioned something about the portal being "federated, " but not sure what that means. Also, I don't even see the same JSON API icon/link on the new portal that was on the CDPH portal.

Previous snarky comment deleted. ACNDS (Always Celebrate New Data Sets). It's an easy fix, and we should expect these APIs to break in the early days of more open data.

Also, in Socrata, you can find the API links by clicking 'export', then the 'SODA API' tab on the right when viewing a data set.
