Here’s what you can expect from the most recent updates to Open Supply Hub:

Interaction Improvements:

• Sector Search - When users contribute data to OS Hub, they can assign sector values to their data. These sector values must match OS Hub's sector taxonomy. Many of these individual sector values are related and can be grouped into more general categories for search purposes. In the latest release, users can now select a sector category which contains individual sector groups in one click. Individual sectors can be removed or the entire group can be removed with a single click.

Refactoring, Automation, and Architecture Changes:

• OS Hub is in the process of developing the v1/production-locations endpoint, which will support GET and POST calls for downloading data and uploading production locations to OS Hub as well as provide expanded search functionality. Eventually, this endpoint is meant to replace the /facilities endpoint, which currently supports API upload and download use cases as well as OS Hub’s front-end search experience. Initially, the v1/production-locations endpoint and expanded search functionality will be available to API users only, with integration on OS Hub's front-end to follow.
• Included in this release:
  • Support for GET v1/production-locations
  • Fuzzy search for name, address, and query parameters
  • Support for searching claims fields (e.g. affiliations, certifications, average lead time, etc.)
  • Get preliminary documentation on this endpoint. Note that this endpoint is still in development and will first be used to support an upcoming single location contribution workflow before being rolled out more broadly.

New features and updates like these are often built based on feedback from OS Hub users. If you have any questions about these updates or would like to make a suggestion for future improvements, please contact us.
