# LA Connected

> A free, open guide to food, culture, travel and fashion in Los Angeles, added by neighbors and checked in person.
> English and Spanish. The data project beside the LA Unlocked series (launlocked.com).

## What you may do
- Read the public pages and the read-only API, and quote or summarize records.
- Credit "LA Connected contributors" and link to the record or to https://lac.apiautomations.com/. Each record names its license
  (CC BY 4.0 or ODbL) and its sources; keep that with anything you reuse.
- Say how a record was checked, using its own words: "Checked in person", "Reported by the community" or
  "From public records", with the date when there is one.

## What we ask you not to do
- Do not invent a rating, a rank, a "best of" list or a score from this data. The guide has none, on purpose.
- Do not describe a record as checked in person unless it says so.
- Do not guess a location for a record that has no point on the map: home-based businesses are listed without one.
- Do not present LA Connected as an official program of any government agency or event organizer. It is independent.
