A dashboard tracking SARS-CoV-2 in California, based upon continual waste water analysis and monitoring. Other infectious viruses can be tracked from here as well, but it defaults to COVID.

This dashboard can probably be reverse engineered to extract the data for other purposes.

The cryptocurrency industry has been throwing money into politics unlike ever before, and that’s even after political donations from the industry skyrocketed in the 2022 election cycle. Despite the relatively small size of the industry, it has become one of the biggest spenders in the upcoming elections in the United States.

Cryptocurrency companies have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to put towards buying crypto-friendly politicians and ousting those who have spoken up for stricter regulations to protect consumers in an industry that is fraught with hacks, scams, and fraud. Although parts of the industry have tried to portray this as a grassroots effort, the reality is that a very small number of crypto companies, and the billionaire executives and venture capitalists behind them, are spending millions with a singular goal: to obtain favorable crypto policy, no matter the cost.

The AirNow Fire and Smoke Map provides information that you can use to help protect your health from wildfire smoke. Use this map to see:

• Current particle pollution air quality information for your location
• Fire locations and smoke plumes
• Smoke Forecast Outlooks, where available
• Recommendations for actions to take to protect yourself from smoke. These recommendations were developed by EPA scientists who are experts in air quality and health.

The Map is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Forest Service (USFS)-led Interagency Wildland Fire Air Quality Response Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Doesn't seem to have an API but it can probably be reverse engineered to get at the data.

Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110 million scales. Featuring tightly integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth you can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software.

Natural Earth was built through a collaboration of many volunteers and is supported by NACIS (North American Cartographic Information Society), and is free for use in any type of project (see our Terms of Use page for more information).

This repository is used for the development of the CVE JSON record format. Releases of the CVE JSON record format will also be published here. This repository is managed by the CVE Quality Working Group.

cve-schema specifies the CVE record format. This is the blueprint for a rich set of JSON data that can be submitted by CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) and Authorized Data Publishers (ADPs) to describe a CVE record. Some examples of CVE record data include CVE ID number, affected product(s), affected version(s), and public references. While those specific items are required when assigning a CVE, there are many other optional data in the schema that can be used to enrich CVE records for community benefit.

This repository is the official CVE List an is a catalog of all CVE Records identified by, or reported to, the CVE Program.

This repository hosts downloadable files of CVE Records in the CVE Record Format (the schema is in another repository). They are updated regularly (about every 7 minutes) using the official CVE Services API. You may search, download, and use the content hosted in this repository, per the CVE Program Terms of Use.

Official California state government water supply stats. I'm not entirely sure there's an API here but there is interactive graphing that can probably be reverse engineered to get data. The hydrologic overview and reservoir conditions are of particular interest.

The WARN Act (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988) outlines requirements for employers who are performing large layoffs or office closures (referred to as plant closures) to notify employees as well as state government officials of these job losses at least 60 days in advance.

We are an European group of people interested in the observation of local and international air traffic. Whether out of interest in (radio) technology, development of hardware and software, or simply in unfiltered air traffic: Every antenna in the network matters ‒ especially to improve coverage at low altitudes! Through an extensive network of receiving stations, everyone contributes their part to the information variety. If you already operate your own ADS-B receiver or require advice in selecting the best hardware for your location, contact us.

To make progress against the pressing problems the world faces, we need to be informed by the best research and data. Our World in Data makes this knowledge accessible and understandable, to empower those working to build a better world.

The U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) is a map released every Thursday, showing where drought is and how bad it is across the U.S. and its territories. The map uses six classifications: normal conditions, abnormally dry (D0), showing areas that may be going into or are coming out of drought, and four levels of drought: moderate (D1), severe (D2), extreme (D3) and exceptional (D4).

The U.S. Drought Monitor has been a team effort since its inception in 1999, produced jointly by the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Meteorologists and climatologists from the NDMC, NOAA and USDA take turns as the lead author of the map, usually two weeks a time. The author’s job is to do something that a computer can’t. When the data is pointing in different directions, they make sense out of it.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration is committed to its free and open data by making it available through an Application Programming Interface (API) and its open data tools. Hourly operating data, power generation stats, capabilities, and more.

We build and maintain an open repository of web crawl data that can be accessed and analyzed by anyone. The Common Crawl corpus contains petabytes of data collected since 2008. It contains raw web page data, extracted metadata and text extractions. The Common Crawl dataset lives on Amazon S3 as part of the Amazon Web Services’ Open Data Sponsorships program. You can download the files entirely free using HTTP(S) or S3. Our goal is to democratize the data so everyone, not just big companies, can do high quality research and analysis.

As part of the OpenFEMA initiative, FEMA is providing read-only API based access to datasets (Entities). The data is exposed using a RESTful interface that uses query string parameters to manage the query. Use of the service is free and does not require a subscription or API key.

A full list of Entities/endpoints supported by the API can be found at Data Sets.

Public data about businesses, government entities, military agencies, police, and so forth throughout the United States.

When the US-based SkyHub organisation regrettably closed down in August 2021, enthusiastic former community members wanted to keep the project and the valuable exchange within the community alive. Therefore, in October 2021, we, a group of European astronomers, software developers and hardware engineers, founded Sky360 as a non-profit NGO association, registered in Austria.

We want to provide a community platform, tools and support to all people interested in observing the skies for stars, meteors, satellites, planes, drones, weather phenomena, birds, UAPs or anything else that happens in our atmosphere and low Earth orbit. We already support the Discord channel the UAP Tracking Forum for the community of UAP trackers with over 900 members and more communities to come in the future. Together with and for the community we develop hardware and software for a 24/7 citizen sky observatory that can detect, track, identify and analyze any aerial phenomena and yet is still affordable for citizens.
