I am trying to get an API key.

TL/DR: How do I get a key?

Longer story...

As documented here:

     http://opencivicdata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/overview.html

The link to get a key is:

     https://sunlightfoundation.com/api/

At the bottom of this page, there's a link that says "Get a Key!". It links to:

     https://sunlightfoundation.com/api/accounts/register/

Which has a permanent redirect to:

     https://sunlightfoundation.com/2014/07/14/register-for-unblight-a-community-unconference-on-housing-data-august-14-15/

How do I get key?


Thank you!

Sunlight foundation no longer hosts an open civic data API.

DataMade does provide an OCD API for a few cities. I expect that part of the new plans for OpenStates is to get an OCD API available for state legislatures, but that will probably take a while.

Best,

Forest
