Wanted to update status on this, a lot of the potential partners were quite busy-- also COVID-19 happened and I think a lot of priorities shifted. I'd still like to do this someday, but attention is currently on API v3, schema updates, etc. and in January will switch to new session updates so the window for getting this in before 2021 is closing. I think realistically this will need to be funded work given the relatively small user base for this compared to the investment, but if any organizations want to discuss funding this as it would help with their business needs let's definitely have a conversation! |

We're putting out an open call for collaborators for a new Open States data replication pilot project.
Years of running Open States has shown that there are really two types of API users. Those that are embedding a tiny bit of functionality into their site (find your legislator or a bill widget) and those that want almost all of the data we have.
We're hoping to consider several options for the latter, and are looking for organizations to partner with. Ultimately, we're looking for organizations with technical capacity that rely upon Open States' data to be a part of a pilot project enabling us to stream updates to reduce API load. Ideally we'd have a few calls to discuss options, and you'd have an engineer or two that we could work with directly as we work towards improving this use case. We might also look for collaborative funding opportunities to help sustain this work, but for now we're just going to focus on organizations with the need for a substantial subset of Open States' data and technical capacity.
If you're interested please email [email protected] with the following information:
