Recreation.gov StrawberryEvery recreation area in Recreation.gov, pulled into one sheet
Recreation.gov exposes 3 operations and a companion can work all of them: search recreation areas, search campsites and get a recreation area. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.
Open the recreation area. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Recreation.gov afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Recreation.gov exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 3 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can search recreation areas, search campsites and get a recreation area, and work across the recreation areas and campsites.
The Recreation.gov API stops at Recreation.gov. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Which Recreation.gov recreation areas does a companion see?
All 3 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can search recreation areas, search campsites and get a recreation area, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Recreation.gov's documentation.
The recreation areas are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the campsites. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Recreation.gov admin becomes a queue you review.
- Search Recreation Areas
- Search Campsites
- Get Recreation Area
Nothing writes back. So what moves the recreation areas?
Through the screens you already use.
Recreation.gov exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Recreation.gov in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a recreation area, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a recreation area in Recreation.gov touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Can the recreation areas pass run every Monday?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Recreation.gov recreation areas pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the Recreation.gov recreation areas sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
