Hack Oregon Jobs Economy Backend

This is the backend REST API for Hack Oregon's Job's Economy team. It consists of a Flask application, as well as Vagrant and Docker scripts.

To run locally without Vagrant and Docker:

cd backend

virtualenv -p python3 env

source env/bin/activate

pip install -r setup/requirements.txt

pip install -r setup/dev-requirements.txt

python jobs-economy/run.py

Visit 0.0.0.0:5000 in your browser.

To run on server without Vagrant and Docker:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

cd backend

virtualenv -p python3 env

source env/bin/activate

pip install -r setup/requirements.txt

pip install -r setup/server-requirements.txt

sudo env/bin/gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:80 jobs-economy/app:app

To run with Vagrant and the Docker provisioner:

You must have Vagrant installed, along with Virtualbox.

Vagrant up

Wait for Vagrant and Docker to complete their magic, then visit 0.0.0.0:8080 in your browser.

API Documentation

This API exposes the data used for Hack Oregon's Raise Effect project. It is a read-only RESTful API that uses JSON for its interchange format. Data is organized by county and family type.

The base URL is: /api/v1/counties

Data sets

  • Populations: /populations
  • Labor Statistics: /laborstats
  • Wage Statistics: /wagestats
  • Self-Sufficiency Standard Budgets: /sssbudgets
  • Self-Sufficiency Standard Tax Credits: /ssscredits
  • Self-Sufficiency Standard Wages: /ssswages
  • PUMA Codes: /pumas
  • Census Households /censushouseholds
  • Family Code Weights /familycodeweights
  • Additional Calculated Statistics (see API reference): /calculatedstats

Example requests

Sending a GET request to the root of the resource will download the data for all counties. The JSON data returned is an object with one key called "data", which contains an array of county data objects:

    GET /api/v1/counties

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    {
      "data": [
        {
          "fips": 41001,
          "name": "Baker"
        },
        ...
      ]
    }

Retrieve a particular data set by appending the corresponding URL:

    GET /api/v1/counties/laborstats

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    {
      "data": [
        {
        "employed": 6024.0,
          "fips": 41001,
          "laborForce": 6615.0,
          "unemployed": 591.0,
          "unemploymentRate": 8.9,
          "urSeasonalAdj": 7.3,
          "year": 2014
        },
        {
          "employed": 42507.0,
          "fips": 41003,
          "laborForce": 44777.0,
          "unemployed": 2270.0,
          "unemploymentRate": 5.1,
          "urSeasonalAdj": 5.1,
          "year": 2014
        },
        ...
        ]
    }

Retrieve data for a particular county by including the county's FIPS code before the data set. In this case, the "data" key contains a single object. The example below returns data for Clackamas county:

    GET /api/v1/counties/41005/populations

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    {
      "data": {
        "a1c0": 23581.0,
        "a1c": 7742.0,
        "a1teen": 0.0,
        "a2s2": 2266.0,
        "adults": 1.912958,
        "fips": 41005,
        "kids": 0.871108,
        "kidsPresent": 46179.0,
        "minDiff": 1333.151101,
        "mostCommonFamilyType": "a3i0p0s0t0",
        "population": 386080.0,
        "year": 2013
      }
    }
