Built when you ask for it

Sync St. Louis 311 service requests into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The St. Louis 311 connector syncs Citizens' Service Bureau requests into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull service requests, their status and closure, the hierarchical service list and service definitions, and request locations from the City of St. Louis CSB Open311 GeoReport v2 API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Service requests
  • Request status and closure
  • Service list and definitions
  • Request location

How it gets built

  1. Choose St. Louis MO 311 when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads St. Louis MO 311's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against St. Louis MO 311 itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

API key, sent as a query parameter: ?api_key=. Request a free CSB API key on the City of St. Louis City API sign-up page at https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/departments/information-technology/web-development/city-api/sign-up.cfm; it is passed as the api_key query parameter.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.
