The Newsapps Boundary Service
=============================

The Boundary Service is a ready-to-deploy system for aggregating regional boundary data (from shapefiles) and republishing that data via a RESTful JSON API. It is packaged as a pluggable Django application so that it can be easily integrated into another project, or it may also be used with the prepackaged `boundaryservice demo site <https://github.com/newsapps/boundaryservice>`_.
The Boundary Service is a ready-to-deploy system for aggregating regional boundary data (from shapefiles) and republishing that data via a RESTful JSON API. It is packaged as a pluggable Django application so that it can be easily integrated into any project. The best example of a complete Boundary Service implementation is `hacktyler-boundaryservice <https://github.com/hacktyler/hacktyler-boundaryservice>`_.

This project is aimed at providing a simple service for newsrooms, open-government hackers and others to centralize and build on regional GIS data. You can see the instance we've configured for Chicago & Illinois, along with much more detailed information about the API at `http://boundaries.tribapps.com/ <http://boundaries.tribapps.com/>`_.
