Server Software

Server applications provide an API endpoint and can receive and manage reports.

• uReport Open311 Server. PHP-based Open311 Server & CRM by Bloomington
• GeoReport v2 Server - Python-based middleware/server by Miami-Dade County
• GeoReport v2 Server by Diptanu - Python-based CRM server in early stages of development
• Mark-a-Spot Drupal Distribution. There's also Integration for the older standalone Mark-a-Spot CakePHP code.
• Open311 on Joget. See Blog post. (in development).
• (Deprecated) Open311 API in PHP - raw API with no UI - refer to fms-endpoint and Ushahidi plugin below which have improved this code
• Open311 Plugin for Ushahidi (in development. More background on the Ushahidi wiki)
• FMS-Endpoint Open311 API for FixMyStreet - "fms-endpoint" using Codeigniter PHP - by MySociety (Doesn't require FixMyStreet. Based on two codebases listed above)
• FixMyStreet integration. See FixMyStreet.com/open311 and example of support within a city: Southampton UK
• Shareabouts has planned support in the future.
• I think there may also be some ongoing work for Kajoo integration

Client Applications

Software that interacts with an Open311 server by connecting to an API.

• GeoReporter Open311 iPhone app
• GeoReporter download from the Apple Store
• Open311 Proxy - a PHP/HTML/javascript client that doesn't expose API keys
• Open311 Facebook app
• Open311 Dashboard See the Blog post (in development)
• Open311 Plugin for Ushahidi - can reroute issues from Ushahidi to an external Open311 endpoint.
• OpenBlock is not an Open311 client per se, but can consume and display Open311 reports on a map; see Boston demo

Client Libraries (API Wrappers)

Client libraries make it easier to build client applications that work with the spec.

• PHP by Ronaldo Barbachano at Code for America
• Python by Zach Williams at Code for America
• Ruby Gem by Code for America labs et al (see it on GitHub)
• Node.js by Mark Headd and Ben Sheldon
• C# by Mark Headd
• Clojure by Ryan Briones

Test Suites

Test suites are used to verify that a server is compliant with the specification.

• https://github.com/seeclickfix/open311-validator/ (ruby based, initial release Nov 2011)
• http://github.com/open311/open311-validator-py (python based, not up to date)
• GeoReporter Client can be used to test GeoReport v2 endpoints.
