Hi all,
I’m working on a personal side project and want to build something that keeps track of trail closures and reopenings in the U.S. The goal is to have the most up-to-date look at what’s closing or opening in parks.
I’d like to cover:
- National parks
- State parks
- County and city parks
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Some questions I have:
- Are there existing APIs or open datasets that already track this info?
- If not, what would be the best way to scrape government/park websites that post closure announcements?
- For anyone who’s done similar projects: how do you handle the fact that every agency posts things in different formats?
Any tools, techniques, or data source suggestions would be super helpful. Thanks!
