UF Crime Log
http://www.police.ufl.edu/wp-content/asp/crimelog/default2.asp
Though UF doesn't offer an API for its crime log, you can scrape data from the page using the PoliceRequest API files in the src folder of this repository. Note, however, that the layout of the page
could change at any time, rendering implementations of the PoliceRequest API useless. PHP is the only language currently supported.

Linking to the Map
You can link directly to a building or other point of reference by following the example URL: http://campusmap.ufl.edu/#/index/0001/17
The first parameter (a four digit code) should be the building number or the object ID to center the map on. The second parameter (a two digit number) should be the desired zoom level. If no zoom level is given the default will be 17.
