Steps
Query the Permitted Septic Systems dataset via the SODA API: GET data.delaware.gov/resource/mv7j-tx3u.json and filter with $where clauses on fields like owner name, address, or permit number.
Use $limit and $offset for paging through large county-wide result sets.
Add a free, self-service app token via the X-App-Token header (from the Socrata developer portal) to raise the anonymous rate limit.
Parse returned fields (permit number, issue date, system type, location) to confirm an existing system before an excavation or repair permit application.
If the dataset includes a location column, use the within_circle() or within_box() SoQL spatial functions to search by geographic radius instead of text.
Known gotchas
Confirm the exact column names via the dataset's own metadata endpoint first -- Socrata field names are dataset-specific and not standardized across states.
Anonymous (no app token) requests share a low global rate limit across all Socrata consumers hitting that domain, so bursty automated lookups may get throttled during business hours.
