Open NY: Dataset Rows by SoQL Query

nyopendata/dataset-rows

Rows from any tabular dataset on the Open NY (data.ny.gov), chosen by its 8-character dataset id (for example dg63-4siq, Lottery Take 5 Winning Numbers). Narrow, project, sort and aggregate with SoQL: select, where, order, group, a text search q, limit (1 to 50, default 10) and offset. Values come back as the portal publishes them, mostly strings. A filter that matches nothing returns an empty list; an unknown dataset id is refused as a validation error. State of New York data as served by Omnial; not an official State of New York product.
