OCDS Api Specification Community Discussion

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the Open Contracting Data Standard, we are hosting an online community discussion around api specification.

Goals:

• To share learning on existing projects to make OCDS data available via APIs. Presentations may address:
  • The API that has been created
  • Which user needs were the priority?
  • What design decisions have been made?
  • What are the key learning points from the process?
  • Could OCDS do anything to help improve API design and development?
• To explore the potential and scope for increased guidance in OCDS 1.1 around APIs for data discovery, harvesting or querying.
• To identify if there should be ongoing community work on APIs.
