Early in my career I worked on DataLab, the sister site to USASpending.gov before it got merged into it. I then worked on USASpending a bit. Datalab had more of a &quot;for the people&quot; storytelling vibe to it which I liked a lot more and I feel that spirit got lost when we &quot;merged&quot; into USASpending. I built The Public Tab in response to this feeling.<p>My core idea: The district you are in is a more relatable measure of analysis for federal spending for the average person. You want to know what is going on around you. You can more easily &quot;follow the money&quot; this way.<p>I have a pipeline that runs nightly&#x2F;weekly with data digest from USASpending, SAM.gov, and some other big players in the space.
You can subscribe to changes and get updates daily&#x2F;weekly on spending in your district. You can map that to lobbying, new contracts that pop up, as well as what your rep is voting on.<p>The client libraries are written in ruby and are open source here: <a href=""https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;govapi-rb"" rel=""nofollow"">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;govapi-rb</a><p>You can also check out the API Docs here: <a href=""https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thepublictab.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;api"" rel=""nofollow"">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thepublictab.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;api</a><p>It is deemed &quot;beta&quot; for now.. I&#x27;d love any feedback and to hear what is cool and what is not.<p>Thanks!",2026-08-23T07:07:43.729386
