The National Park Service GitHub account hosts repositories of code and data, many of which are GIS-related.
For NPS API users, the nps-api-samples repository provides examples of many common tasks required of a developer working with NPS data. These examples are provided in a variety of languages such as Python and PHP. Snippets of code demonstrate authentication and basic data retrieval using different parameters.
