Search on Recreation.gov for permits #281

👏 nice, very exciting. I would love to have this as part of camply. I'm on a long extended trip right now, I won't be home for a couple more weeks before I can take a closer look at this. I'll try to add some questions and comments as I can in the meantime. My first reaction is that everything looks very clean. Excited to dive deeper on this. |

Is there any way to rely on the Recreation.gov API for this? Camply has a built-in API key to talk to the RIDB API here: https://ridb.recreation.gov/docs#/Permit%20Entrances/getFacilityPermitEntrances

If possible, I don't want to hit every endpoint. It looks like which endpoint to use is actually handled here: https://github.com/changlan/camply/blob/e5425eebd811256d04d7108bd786a439fa11e8fb/camply/providers/recreation_dot_gov/recdotgov_permits.py#L66-L96
It seems like everyone uses the same generic endpoint, unless they show up on this mapping: https://www.recreation.gov/api/permitcontent/permitmapping

So the workflow for this seems to be,
- Call the permitmapping API.
- For each facility in the permitmapping result, check if it is a parent facility.
- If it has children, create a subdictionary with its children, and use the facility retrieval API to get each child's name.
- If not, input it in the mapping dictionary with its name as the value.
I think I will take a stab at it.
Description
I took a stab at #82 and #22 to add support for searching on recreation.gov for permits. Similar to campgrounds, there is a 3-level hierarchy for permits: rec-area -> facility -> permit / trails. So I (ab)use the existing cli commands with the following mapping:
Let me know if this is a good idea. I would like to collect some feedback before moving on to adding documentations, etc.
Has This Been Tested?
List facilities in a rec-area
List permits in a rec-area
