abouts.json is the HAPI project's master list of production HAPI servers

abouts-dev.json is the HAPI project's master list of development HAPI servers

abouts-test.json is the HAPI project's list of servers with data for testing clients

These files should be used by clients.

These files are updated daily by amending the content of the defaults/ files based on the results of /about queries. The code that does this is abouts.py in the server-metadata repository.

Adding a Server

The minimal amount of detail is x_url and id. Choose either of these options to add a server:

• Post an issue with your server URL

or

• Edit the appropriate file in defaults/ by adding an object with at least x_url and id.

Legacy Files

Nightly, a process generates the legacy all.txt and all_.txt files using the abouts files.

• all.txt - List of production HAPI servers
• all_.txt - Additional information about servers
• dev.txt - List of HAPI servers under development and not production-ready
