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. Locate the 'Regularly scheduled tow-away zone GIS data' dataset (Socrata dataset ID ynvq-waab) on the DataSF portal
  2. Query the Socrata JSON resource endpoint for ynvq-waab with SoQL parameters such as $limit and $where to filter by street or cnn (centerline network number)
  3. Parse returned fields including cnn, street, st_type, side, tow1days/tow1start/tow1end, tow2days/tow2start/tow2end, and geometry
  4. Cross-reference the lf_fadd/lf_toadd and rt_fadd/rt_toadd address-range fields to determine which side of the block the schedule applies to
  5. Paginate with $offset if pulling city-wide data, since the dataset covers all regularly scheduled blockfaces
