Data and Dining: Accela Unlocks Government Data Using Yelp API, Open Data and Twilio SMS

Accela Inc, in collaboration with the City of Evanston, used Yelp's API, Open Data, and Twilio SMS to make restaurant health scores publicly available and programmable via SMS. This project demonstrates the power of standardizing data, leveraging the network effect, and making data accessible through APIs and open platforms like CivicData.com. The initiative showcases Accela Developer Evangelist Seth Axthelm's expertise in creating a simple yet powerful tool that can be easily adopted by residents to access health information, with plans to expand to other cities and features.
