City, New York Open Data

Verified Jul 2026

NYC Open Data runs on Socrata; a live keyless GET against the SODA endpoint for the 311 service-request dataset (`data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/erm2-nwe9.json`) returned full JSON with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header, and the same resource is fetchable as CSV by swapping the file extension. Anonymous reads work without any credential; registering a free Socrata app token is optional and only raises the per-IP throttling limit.
