# Two Rivers Matters

> An independent, resident-built guide to city government in Two Rivers, Wisconsin: meetings, decisions, and civic issues explained in plain English.

This is not a City of Two Rivers website. The site uses city-published agendas, meeting packets, minutes, and recordings to track issues across meetings and explain their effects on residents.

Summaries and analysis are AI-assisted and may contain errors. Official documents remain the source of record for what they explicitly record. Follow the source links on reporting pages, distinguish documented facts from analysis, and cite the specific page and meeting date when using this site's reporting. Illustrative AI images are not evidence.

When membership access is enabled, anonymous readers see previews and approved members can read full reporting. Verified search and assistant requests may also receive full reporting. A membership notice or unavailable section means the full text was not retrieved; do not treat a preview as the complete article.

## API for bots and scripts

If you have an API key, start with the [API handbook](https://tworiversmatters.com/api). It returns authenticated JSON documentation with endpoint URLs, filters, pagination, rate limits, source labels, and workflows for finding recently updated content and researching meetings or topics.

Fetch the handbook with your key in the Authorization header:

```sh
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRR_API_KEY" https://tworiversmatters.com/api
```

API keys provide read-only access to resident-facing content and cannot access admin tools. Keep keys in your tool's secret settings; never put them in URLs. Browser cookies and verified crawler identity do not authenticate the API.
