Notices Feature

Notices Endpoints Added

We’ve introduced a new Notices feature to the API, enabling retrieval of alerts, closures, weather events, fires, and other notices from multiple sources (including USFS, NPS, NWS, etc). More to come soon. Notices can be queried by campground, lands, or via spatial/search parameters for flexible geospatial filtering. Key highlights:
  • Endpoints:
    • /campground/{id}/notices: Fetch notices for a specific campground, with options to include intersecting notices (e.g., park-level or weather alerts) and full GeoJSON geometry.
    • /preview/land/{id}/notices: Similar to above, but for lands (e.g., national forests, parks), supporting intersecting notices and geometry inclusion.
    • /notices/search: Search notices by point coordinates, bounding box, kind (e.g., weather, fire, closure), or severity (e.g., info, severe).
    • /notice/{id}: Retrieve a single notice by its unique ID, with optional GeoJSON geometry.
  • Notice Schema: Each notice includes fields like id, title, description, kind, severity, start/end timestamps, geometry_summary (lightweight point or bbox), target (e.g., linked campground or land), source (e.g., USFS with URL), and optional full geometry (GeoJSON Point, Polygon, or MultiPolygon).
  • Deprecation Note: The legacy alerts array in campground responses is now deprecated in favor of the new /campground/{id}/notices endpoint, though it will continue to be populated for backward compatibility.
This aggregation from diverse sources enhances safety and planning for outdoor activities.View in API docs
