Who this is for

Journalists building source-backed local accountability dashboards.

Civic groups tracking public-record gaps across counties, districts, or school boards.

Researchers comparing public profiles, races, source trails, and aggregate trends.

Available when approved

What the API can include

Approved public profile data with public-role fields and source counts.

Approved public source links, source labels, and public record metadata.

Data exports that are filtered, logged, expiring, and tied to an approved access request.

Hard boundary

Private user data, private watchlists, private submissions, or private uploaded documents.

Raw analytics tied to identifiable people or individual visitor histories.

Admin notes, internal reviewer comments, risk notes, payment events, or service fulfillment records.

Data product rules

RepWatchr data products are built around public records, public source links, and aggregate signals. Access requests are reviewed before any key is issued. API keys are scoped, rate-limited, logged, and revocable.
