Add instructions to find your city's relevant IDs

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi! I know these docs are very much under development. I'm playing around with this and I'm kind of stuck at the editing settings_jurisdiction.py. I'm not intimately familiar with OCD so I'm not sure how to set the OCD_CITY_COUNCIL_ID and OCD_JURISDICTION_ID for my city.
This link in the OCD docs seems to be long dead. Is http://ocd.datamade.us/jurisdictions/ the right resource? And how might I approach adding a new city? ;)

hey @thecristen!

yes, the OCD docs are very out of date, I should add a note about that to the readme. http://ocd.datamade.us/jurisdictions/ is indeed the right place to look for jurisdictions. is your city already in the OCD API? if not, the first step would be to write some scrapers to populate the data here. what city are you trying to deploy councilmatic for?
