San Mateo County Open Data: Dataset Rows by SoQL Query
smcgovopendata/dataset-rows
Queries any tabular dataset on the San Mateo County open data portal by its dataset id with SoQL: choose columns, filter rows, order, limit (1 to 25 rows, default 10) and page. Returns the rows with the dataset's own columns; most numbers arrive as strings and geometry columns are GeoJSON, so select only the columns you need. An unknown dataset id or a column that does not exist returns a validation error. Passed through unmodified and served by Eden Engine; not an official County of San Mateo product.
