A generic way of accessing parcel information in Detroit.

Todo: figure out how to make this work nationwide? 

Fields

  • The standard US address fields
  • Parcel ID
  • Polygon
  • Centroid
  • (Ideally owner information?)

Endpoints: 

  • /parcel: all of them
  • /parcel/[id]: parcel by ID
  • /parcel/near?point=[lat,lng] - returns closest N to the location
  • /parcel/in?bounds=[lat,lng],[lat,lng] - returns all parcels with centroids in the bounds. Parameter: overlap (returns all parcels that overlap the bounds -- should this be the default?)

 

What you want out:

  • GeoJSON with the fields above (default)
  • KML?
