Overview#
The Recreation.gov API provides access to data about federal recreational activities and areas. With it, you can fetch details about campsites, tours, permits, and articles. On Pipedream, leverage this API to automate notifications, analyze recreational data, or integrate with other services for trip planning or environmental monitoring.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
recreation_gov: {
type: "app",
app: "recreation_gov",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://ridb.recreation.gov/api/v1/campsites`,
params: {
apikey: `${this.recreation_gov.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Example Use Cases#
Campsite Availability Alerts: Set up a workflow on Pipedream that periodically checks for new campsite availability at your favorite parks. Pair it with the Twilio app to send SMS alerts when a spot opens up.
Recreational Data Analysis: Create a workflow that collects data on park visitations, campsite usage, and permit issuance. Pipe this data to Google Sheets, allowing for regular analysis and reporting on trends and patterns.
Environmental Monitoring Integration: Combine the Recreation.gov API with weather apps to inform users of the best times to visit based on weather conditions. Integrate with an email service like SendGrid to send custom weather-based recommendations for outdoor activities.
