abouts.json is the HAPI project's master list of production HAPI servers.

abouts-dev.json is the HAPI project's master list of development HAPI servers.

abouts-test.json is the HAPI project's list of servers with data for testing clients.

If a server has an /about endpoint, this information is inserted into an object in the array in abouts.json on a daily basis.

If a server does not have an /about endpoint, or its /about response is incomplete, missing information will be added using content in defaults/abouts.json if it exists.

The code that does the daily updates is abouts.py in the server-metadata repository.

If you have developed a HAPI server, and you would like to make it automatically visible to existing software in the HAPI ecosystem, please post an issue with your server URL.
