# spy-glass (aka Citygram connector)
__Spyglass__ is a [Code for America](https://github.com/codeforamerica) project by the [Charlotte Team](http://team-charlotte.tumblr.com/) for the [2014 fellowship](http://www.codeforamerica.org/geeks/our-geeks/2014-fellows/).
### Why are we doing this?
### What does this do now?
This is a registry of micro ETL endpoints. What does that even mean? Good question. Citygram has good [overview documentation](https://github.com/codeforamerica/citygram/wiki/Getting-Started-with-Citygram).
But here's a specific example of the information flow:
[CKAN code enforcement](http://www.civicdata.com/dataset/lexington-code-enforcement-complaints) -> [Citygram connector](https://github.com/citygram/citygram-services/blob/master/lib/spy_glass/registry/lexington-code-enforcement-complaints.rb) -> [Citygram](https://www.citygram.org/lexington)
This particular Citygram connector pulls the [last seven days worth](https://github.com/citygram/citygram-services/blob/master/lib/spy_glass/registry/lexington-code-enforcement-complaints.rb#L7) of code complaints and [formats them as geojson](https://citygram-services.herokuapp.com/) that Citygram polls many times a day.
It creates a unique key that [is a composite](https://github.com/citygram/citygram-services/blob/master/lib/spy_glass/registry/lexington-code-enforcement-complaints.rb#L25) of the CaseNo and Status columns. When this key changes, Citygram will create a new event that will be sent to subscribers. Since the key is a composite, an event is created whenever a status changes for a given case.
### What will this do in the future?

### Who is this made by?
