While working on my project to find the shortest route to all US National Parks, I dealt with the US National Park API. It ended up that the information I needed was not easily accessible from the API, however I learned a lot and thought I would share.
You can download the following Jupyter notebook from my GitHub.
Accessing the US National Park API in Python¶
The US National Park Service has an API that can be used to get a variety of information about campgrounds, parks, events, and much more. In order to access the API, you must register with a name and e-mail and receive an API key. There is a guide to using the API, however I had some issues with the information provided and I suspect the API has been changed without the documentation not updated. Below I go over what worked for me.
We will be using Python’s requests library to make HTTP requests to the API. I began this project using urllib but eventually switched to the requests library because it is easier to use.
In [1]:
import requests # Used to make HTTP requests to the API
import json # Used to process JSON strings
Accessing the ‘parks’ endpoint¶
Below we use our API key and access the ‘parks’ endpoint. NOTE that the parameters dict uses "api_key" instead of "Authorization" as mentioned on the Python code snippet on the NPS website.
We are using v1 of the API because v0 is deprecated. Also, you can only make 500 API requests per hour. The default number of results returned is 50. The data is returned in JSON format with 4 keys/value pairs in the root object: limit, total, start, data.
- limit is how many entries in data were returned. By default 50 entries are requested.
- total is how many entries are available to be requested (496 as of this writing)
- start is works like an offset into the data. We start at 1 by default, but can request to start elsewhere.
- data is the data that we requested (more on this below)
In [2]:
API_Key_NPS = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" # Insert your API key here
endpoint = "https://developer.nps.gov/api/v1/parks?"
parameters = {"api_key":API_Key_NPS} # use "api_key" not "Authorization"
response = requests.get(endpoint, params=parameters)
print("response status code: " + str(response.status_code))
data_all = response.json() # Interpret bytes as JSON format and convert to a Python dict
print('limit: ' + data_all['limit'])
print('total: ' + data_all['total'])
print('start: ' + data_all['start'])
response status code: 200 limit: 50 total: 496 start: 1
What data do we get back?¶
Let’s take a closer look at the data that we got back. The data key within data_all is a list of all of the parks. We can access each park by index and print out the value of a key. We get useful information like description, name, lattitude/longitude, weather, park code, etc.
In [3]:
list_of_parks = data_all['data']
for key in list_of_parks[0].keys(): # iterate over all information about the first park in the list
print(key + ': ' + list_of_parks[0][key])
directionsUrl: http://www.nps.gov/afam/planyourvisit/directions.htm description: Over 200,000 African-American soldiers and sailors served in the U.S. Army and Navy during the Civil War. Their service helped to end the war and free over four million slaves.

Get ALL the data!¶
In order to get all the data, we will need to send a request with limit >= 496. We can set this limit within our parameters dictionary as shown below. NOTE: If you get status code of 500 from attempting this, see the Extra: Get all the data! (a little bit at a time) section below
In [4]:
parameters = {"api_key":API_Key_NPS, "limit":500} # limit is arbitrary value larger than total number of parks
response = requests.get(endpoint, params=parameters)
print("response status code: " + str(response.status_code))
data_all = response.json() # Interpret bytes as JSON format and convert to a Python dict
print('limit: ' + data_all['limit'])
print('total: ' + data_all['total'])
print('start: ' + data_all['start'])
response status code: 200 limit: 500 total: 496 start: 1
Convert data to pandas DataFrame and pickle¶
If we want to process the data easily, pandas is a good option. We can also store the data on our local hard drive as a pickle file (.pkl) so that we don’t have access the API anymore.
In [5]:
import pandas as pd
df_parks = pd.DataFrame(data_all['data']) # convert list of json objects to dataframe
df_parks = df_parks.drop_duplicates() # remove duplicate parks (since we requested 510 and there are only 507)
print(df_parks)
df_parks.to_pickle('all_park_data.pkl')

Visualize data¶
Its important to know what the data looks like so we can do some quick plots. We can see that there are many different types of NPS designations and some overlap with eachother. There are seperate designations for ‘National Park’, ‘National and State Parks’, ‘National Park & Preserve’. This makes it difficult to sort out the National Parks that may also have other designations.
In [6]:
print(df_parks.columns) # what information is available on each park
print(df_parks.shape)
print (df_parks['designation'].value_counts()) # Determine the frequency of each 'designation'
# Attempt to sort out just the 'National Parks'
nationalParks = df_parks[df_parks['fullName'].str.contains("National Park")]

Extra: Get all the data! (a little bit at a time) ¶
When I initially tried to request all 496 entries at once from the API, I kept getting response status codes of 500 (Internal Server Error). If this happens to you, you can use the work-around below to only request a few entries at a time and append the data as you go along.
In [7]:
responseList = [] # store json responses in a list
for i in range(0,510, 10): # There are currently 507 parks return, but we need this loop to only get 10 at a time.
parameters = {"api_key":API_Key_NPS, 'limit':'10', 'start':str(i)} # limit is arbitrary value larger than total number of parks
response = requests.get(endpoint, params=parameters)
print("request #" + str(i) + " response status code: " + str(response.status_code))
data = response.json() # Interpret bytes as JSON format and convert to a Python dict
responseList.append(data["data"])
print("length of response list " + str(len(responseList)))
request #0 response status code: 200 length of response list 1 request #10 response status code: 200 length of response list 2 request #20 response status code: 200 length of response list 3 request #30 response status code: 200 length of response list 4 request #40 response status code: 200 length of response list 5 request #50 response status code: 200 length of response list 6 request #60 response status code: 200 length of response list 7 request #70 response status code: 200 length of response list 8 request #80 response status code: 200 length of response list 9 request #90 response status code: 200 length of response list 10 request #100 response status code: 200 length of response list 11 request #110 response status code: 200 length of response list 12 request #120 response status code: 200 length of response list 13 request #130 response status code: 200 length of response list 14 request #140 response status code: 200 length of response list 15 request #150 response status code: 200 length of response list 16 request #160 response status code: 200 length of response list 17 request #170 response status code: 200 length of response list 18 request #180 response status code: 200 length of response list 19 request #190 response status code: 200 length of response list 20 request #200 response status code: 200 length of response list 21 request #210 response status code: 200 length of response list 22 request #220 response status code: 200 length of response list 23 request #230 response status code: 200 length of response list 24 request #240 response status code: 200 length of response list 25 request #250 response status code: 200 length of response list 26 request #260 response status code: 200 length of response list 27 request #270 response status code: 200 length of response list 28 request #280 response status code: 200 length of response list 29 request #290 response status code: 200 length of response list 30 request #300 response status code: 200 length of response list 31 request #310 response status code: 200 length of response list 32 request #320 response status code: 200 length of response list 33 request #330 response status code: 200 length of response list 34 request #340 response status code: 200 length of response list 35 request #350 response status code: 200 length of response list 36 request #360 response status code: 200 length of response list 37 request #370 response status code: 200 length of response list 38 request #380 response status code: 200 length of response list 39 request #390 response status code: 200 length of response list 40 request #400 response status code: 200 length of response list 41 request #410 response status code: 200 length of response list 42 request #420 response status code: 200 length of response list 43 request #430 response status code: 200 length of response list 44 request #440 response status code: 200 length of response list 45 request #450 response status code: 200 length of response list 46 request #460 response status code: 200 length of response list 47 request #470 response status code: 200 length of response list 48 request #480 response status code: 200 length of response list 49 request #490 response status code: 200 length of response list 50 request #500 response status code: 200 length of response list 51
Convert responseList to pandas DataFrame¶
Now we can convert the list of responses into a pandas DataFrame. We also store it as a pickle on the hard drive so we don’t have to send requests to the sketchy NPS servers anymore.

parks = pd.concat([pd.DataFrame(x) for x in responseList], ignore_index=True) # convert list of json objects to dataframe
parks = parks.drop_duplicates() # remove duplicate parks (since we requested 510 and there are only 507)
print(parks)
parks.to_pickle('all_park_data_2.pkl')
