The Socrata Open Data API (SODA) allows software developers
to access data hosted in Socrata data sites programmatically. Developers can
create applications that use the SODA APIs to visualize and
“mash-up” Socrata datasets in new and exciting ways. Create an
iPhone application that visualizes government spending in your area, a web
application that allows citizens to look up potential government benefits
they'd overlooked, or a service that automatically emails you when new
earmarks are added to bills that you wish to track.
To start accessing this dataset programmatically, use the API endpoint
provided below. For more information and examples on how to use the
Socrata Open Data API, reference our
Developer Documentation.
