Data Import Instructions

For ZIP Codes:

Download the JSON file from:

https://chicagohealthatlas.org/api/v1/geographies/?type=zip_code&format=json

For Health Indicators:

Download the JSON file from:

https://chicagohealthatlas.org/api/v1/indicators/?format=json

For Indicator Data:

Create a JSON file with an array of objects with the following structure:

[
  {
    "zipCode": "60601",
    "indicator": "diabetes-prevalence",
    "period": "2020",
    "value": 8.5,
    "unit": "%",
    "source": "Chicago Health Atlas",
    "note": "Age-adjusted"
  }

You can use the Chicago Health Atlas API to get indicator data for a specific ZIP code:

https://chicagohealthatlas.org/api/v1/data/?geography_slug=60601&indicator_slug=diabetes-prevalence&format=json

Need to Import Data Programmatically?

This admin tool is for manual imports. For automatic imports or handling large datasets, you can use the command-line tools directly:

# Import ZIP codes from API
node scripts/import-data.js import-zip-codes-api

# Import ZIP codes from a file
node scripts/import-data.js import-zip-codes-file path/to/file.json

# Import indicators from a file
node scripts/import-data.js import-indicators-file path/to/file.json

# Import indicator data from a file
node scripts/import-data.js import-data-file path/to/file.json

For production environments, consider setting up a cron job or scheduled task to automatically import data on a regular basis.
