Hack Oregon serves a collection of endpoints from an AWS instance using a combination of Postgresql and OpenResty.
For documentation on each of these endpoints and their usage, please see https://github.com/hackoregon/backend/blob/master/endpoint_readme.md
To request additional endpoints, if you have access to the google docs spreadsheet, 'Hackoregon punch list to deployment', please describe the endpoint requirements there and/or send an email to Sam. If you do not yet have access to that spreadsheet, please create a git hub issue here: https://github.com/hackoregon/backend/issues
To request access to the google docs spreadsheet, please send an email to sam at hackoregon dot org .
To build an instance of Hack Oregon's back end on your own machine, please see https://github.com/hackoregon/backend/blob/master/backend_installation_readme.md .
We have a scraper and data cleaning infrastructure to import data from the Oregon Secretary of State website (ORESTAR). The data cleaning consists of R and python scripts orchestrated by a central bash script. The scraper is built with bash scripts and node.js.
