ATL Care · Open data
Everything in the directory — organizations, services, locations, categories, geographies — as clean JSON, aligned with the Open Referral HSDS standard. The part nobody else publishes: every record carries its provenance and freshness, so you always know how much to trust it.
Free, instant, honor system. Keys come with 1,000 requests per hour — if you need more for civic work, talk to us.
Pass the key in the X-API-Key header:
curl -H "X-API-Key: atl_…" \
"https://atlcare.org/api/v1/organizations?category=food&geo_type=npu&geo_code=I"Rate-limited responses return 429 with a Retry-After header. Watch X-RateLimit-Remaining to pace yourself.
/api/v1/organizationsOrganizations (HSDS organization + atlcare provenance extension).
/api/v1/servicesServices & programs (HSDS service), each linked to its organization.
/api/v1/locationsPhysical locations with addresses, coordinates, and NPU/neighborhood/county stamps.
/api/v1/taxonomyThe full category tree as HSDS taxonomy terms (EN + ES names).
/api/v1/geographiesNPUs, zips, neighborhoods, counties — population, need indicators, optional GeoJSON.
HSDS fields up top; the atlcare block carries source, last-verified date, verification state, and a freshness bucket (fresh = checked within 90 days).
