Our goal is to collect information about Freifunk Communities. This information will be used to aggregate contact data, locations, news feeds and events.

The Freifunk Api is based on the Hackerspaces API (http://hackerspaces.nl/spaceapi/). Each community provides its data in a well defined format, hosted on their places (web space, wiki, web servers) and contributes a link to the directory. This directory only consists of the name and an url per community. First services supported by our freifunk API are the global community map and a community feed aggregator.

The Freifunk API is designed to collect metadata of communities in a decentral way and make it available to other users.

Most of the scripts are written in PHP and Python, and could be executed in a terminal. Feel free to clone the repo, make changes and send us Pull Requests.
