In-depth guide

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

Steps

  1. Query the 'fdny violation' dataset on NYC Open Data (Socrata dataset ID ktas-47y7, data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/fdny-violation/ktas-47y7)
  2. Use the Socrata SODA API with an app token to filter by BIN/address rather than downloading the full dataset for one-off lookups
  3. Cross-check against the separate '515 FDNY' dataset (ss8m-kqqx) if you need other FDNY inspection/certificate-of-fitness records, since NYC Open Data hosts multiple similarly-named FDNY datasets
  4. Confirm field definitions (violation type, status, disposition) on the dataset's 'About' tab before feeding results into a compliance report, since Socrata dataset schemas change over time
