In-depth guide

Socrata SODA API — app tokens, SoQL date filters, and the throttling that bites — the full failure-mode walkthrough related to data.sfgov.org, checked against official docs, with linked verified routes.

Steps

  1. Query the Socrata SODA API resource tvy3-wexg (Health Inspection Scores, 2024-present) filtering by dba (doing-business-as name) or permit_number to locate the facility
  2. Review facility_rating_status (e.g., Pass, Conditional Pass) and inspection_date for the most recent inspection
  3. If facility_rating_status indicates issues, pull violation_count and violation_codes for the specific deficiencies cited
  4. Cross-reference permit_type to confirm the facility category matches what you expect (e.g., restaurant vs. take-out vs. other food facility types)
  5. Re-query periodically since this dataset is updated monthly and only covers 2024-present records
