Nate's API for the 511 API

The goal of this API is to allow continuous access to 511wi.gov's road information for the ReadyBadger apps. There is rate limiting enabled on their API, only allowing authenticated calls to 1 request per minute for each method. In the end, this would return empty responses to the users once that limit is reached.

To Run

python 511server.py start

What does it do?

Nate's API for the API runs the request to 511wi every 70 seconds and caches the results to allow unlimited amount of usage.
