This project demonstrates how to:
- use sodapy (i.e. the python client for the Socrata API)
- provides examples of the Socrata Query Language (also known as SoQL)
- sample analysis notebook using 311 data
Inspiration for this project came from the sodapy GitHub page. Much of what I learned about sodapy, as well as working with the Socrata API, came from these developers. I encourage you to review the official sodapy GitHub page to have a better and more complete understanding of sodapy (e.g. installation, requirements, available methods, basic SoQL queries, etc.). This tutorial is meant to complement the official sodapy docs.
The dataset used in this project is 311 Service Requests from 2010 to Present from NYC Open Data.
