Steps

  1. Get an RIDB API key and call GET /permitentrances to find the entrance of interest
  2. Call GET /permitentrances/{permitEntranceId}/zones to list quota zones for that entrance
  3. Call GET /permitentrances/{permitEntranceId}/zones/{zoneId} for a specific zone's detail
  4. Use zone IDs to map RIDB metadata onto recreation.gov's consumer-facing permit calendar for that zone
  5. Treat RIDB as metadata-only, not a live quota feed
