Steps
Browse the Plow Tracker Hub site (plow-tracker-chicago.hub.arcgis.com) to find the specific public item you need — e.g., 'Snow Removal Activity,' 'Route Status,' or 'ServiceAreas public.'
Open the item's detail page to get its ArcGIS Online item ID and underlying Feature/Map Service URL.
Query the Feature Service directly via the standard ArcGIS REST API (.../FeatureServer/0/query?f=json&where=1=1&outFields=*) rather than scraping the Hub's JS front end.
During active snow events, treat 'near real-time' as the update cadence — this is a live operational tool, not a historical archive.
If you need historical plow activity rather than a live snapshot, capture and store your own query results — the Hub does not expose a built-in history/time-series endpoint.
Known gotchas
Item IDs and service URLs on Hub sites can change if the city re-publishes the map between seasons — re-discover the item rather than hardcoding a URL indefinitely.
This is a City of Chicago operational tool built on Esri ArcGIS Hub, not a dedicated developer API product — no SLA or versioned API contract is published.
