Coverage is a project for visualizing the status of digital data archiving efforts across various data repositories run by different initiatives. Its current scope covers data within the epa.gov top-level domain.
This code repo provides the JSON back-end: https://api.archivers.co/coverage
The datatogether/webapp repo provides the visual front-end: https://archivers.co/coverage

Actual source datasets can be found in each /repositories/* directory. It currently includes the following:
- Archivers 2
- archivers.space
- EDGI Nomination Tool Uncrawlables
- The Internet Archive
- Project Svalbard JSON-LD crawl
Requests for new data repositories are tracked under the data-repository issue label.
It takes a list of urls and associated archiving information, and turns that into a tree of url paths with associated coverage information.
The output is cached in cache.json. Because this is a large file, we provide incremental pieces of the cached tree as a web server. To dynamically calculate coverage completion to can work with the cache.json file.
/healthcheck- server status/repositories- list all data repositories ❓/repositories/:repository_uuid- get details for a single data repository ❓/fulltree- get full coverage tree of url-based resources/tree- get scope-able coverage tree ❓/coverage- get coverage summary (not currently used)
We would love involvement from more people! If you notice any errors or would like to submit changes, please see our Contributing Guidelines.
