Future plans

Below are some of the features and improvements I’m exploring or planning to add (in no particular order):

  • Provide a better means of documenting upcoming or new changes to the API
  • Add geolocation data to areas to support more useful location querying
  • Returning stage descriptions in either raw text for API parsing, and fancy text for easy website display
  • A public website, using the API, to improve public accessibility to water restriction data
  • The ability to subscribe to receive notifications of changing restrictions in an area
  • Scheduling water restriction changes in advance, so updates don't need to be made on the same day
  • Support historical restriction data
  • Automating tracking of water restriction changes with suggested updates (manual verification still required)
  • Fully automating updates of water restriction changes
  • New endpoints to better support home automation systems (eg. Home Assistant)

This API is a hobby project that I work on outside of my full-time job. I don’t publish timelines or release dates for new features — but if something is especially valuable to you, let me know and I’ll do my best to prioritise it.

Have a suggestion?​

💡 If you have an idea, use case, or request that could improve the API, I’d love to hear it! Please reach out.
