Client for Socrata Open Data API

This library provides an interface to the Socrata Open Data API, enabling interaction with open datasets available on Socrata-powered data portals. It allows for retrieving data, updating or deleting dataset rows, downloading attachments, managing metadata, controlling dataset permissions, and publishing datasets. Functions include querying datasets with support for filtering, sorting, and pagination, as well as writing new records or replacing data in bulk.

Reading and writing operations are supported for both table-based and file- based datasets, and attachments can be managed or downloaded as needed. The library communicates over HTTP(S) with remote Socrata endpoints, and supports authenticated access for operations that require additional permissions. Socrata's API is commonly used by governments, cities, and public organizations to publish open data such as public safety records, transportation schedules, environmental data, Wi-Fi access points, and more.
