OpenStreetMap Overpass API Google Maps API EPA AirNow API EPA ECHO / SDWIS API Claude (AI summaries)
Future Implementations: StreetAid was built in a limited time frame, but its scalability is not limited. We made Streetaid with the idea of real-world deployment and scalability. SMS integration (in progress) -Enable full SMS functionality using Twilio Allow users to text commands like “FOOD 30314” or “WATER 30314” Ensure access for users without smartphones or internet This was a core feature we began implementing but were unable to fully complete within the hackathon timeframe Expansion To more Cities: We want to scale beyond Atlanta, to other communities and cities with food deserts Use nationwide datasets (e.g., USDA Food Access Atlas) Adapt to different regional resource systems
