accela
Accela API
Accela is the end-to-end government software platform for permitting, licensing, asset management, planning and zoning, code enforcement, and citizen services. This page is an independent design exercise that asks what a well-designed Accela API could look like: the resources it would expose, the authentication it would need, and the workflows it could unlock. Below: a hypothetical endpoint design, the technical requirements a production implementation would face, the use cases programmatic access could serve, and where to start if your team needs this kind of access today.
opengov
OpenGov API
OpenGov is a cloud platform purpose-built for state and local government, used by more than 2,000 communities to run finance, operations, and citizen-facing services on a single system.
