Data & infrastructure · Application Token

Use DataSF in Okou

Use DataSF, SF Open Data, the San Francisco Open Data portal, data.sfgov.org, and its Socrata SODA APIs to discover public City and County of San Francisco datasets, inspect asset metadata, run SoQL queries, retrieve JSON, GeoJSON, CSV, or XML data, and export CSV files.

Once connected, supported DataSF actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with DataSF

  • List public asset metadata exposed by the DataSF open data portal.
  • Read standardized public metadata for one DataSF asset.
  • Run read-only SODA3 queries and bounded CSV exports against public DataSF datasets.
