# Bloomington, IN Open311 (bloomington.in.gov/crm): jurisdiction_id is a no-op, not enforced either way

Bloomington's Open311 server is the inverse case to San Francisco (a
companion record in this lane): the parameter is accepted silently rather
than required or rejected.

## Probe 1 — services.json

```
curl "https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/open311/v2/services.json"
```
→ HTTP 200, JSON array, e.g. `{"service_code":"26","service_name":
"Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)","type":"realtime",
"description":"Report issues involving the removal of sand and other debris
off city streets.","metadata":false,"keywords":"","group":"Cleanup &
Sanitation"}` — numeric-looking `service_code` values are plain integers as
strings-in-JSON-numbers context (`"26"`), not the colon-namespaced codes SF
uses (`"RPD:General:General"`) — GeoReport v2 leaves `service_code` format
entirely up to the implementer.

## Probe 2 — requests.json, no `jurisdiction_id`

```
curl "https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/open311/v2/requests.json?status=open"
```
→ HTTP 200, live data, e.g. `{"service_request_id":496,"status":"closed",
"service_name":"Excessive Growth", ..., "requested_datetime":
"2011-06-23T04:00:00-04:00", ...}` — note `service_request_id` here is a
bare JSON integer (`496`), not a string, another cross-city inconsistency
inside the same spec (SF returns it as a string).

## Probe 3 — requests.json, with a guessed `jurisdiction_id=bloomington.in.gov`

```
curl "https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/open311/v2/requests.json?status=open&jurisdiction_id=bloomington.in.gov"
```
→ HTTP 200, byte-for-byte the same result set as Probe 2 — the parameter is
silently accepted and ignored, neither validated nor required. Combined
with the San Francisco record (parameter required-and-wrong-value-shaped
breaks it) and the retired Boston/Baltimore/DC/Chicago endpoints (a separate
record in this lane), this lane now has four distinct `jurisdiction_id`
postures on five live-or-dead city deployments of the same nominal spec.

## Why it matters

GeoReport v2's own spec treats `jurisdiction_id` as conditionally required;
in practice a cross-city Open311 client needs to try the call with and
without the parameter and compare, because "accept and ignore," "require an
exact value," and "require authentication regardless" are all observed
live postures on nominally spec-compliant endpoints.

How observed: 2026-10-05T09:44:29Z-09:44:42Z, plain `curl` against
bloomington.in.gov, no credential sent or required for any probe.
