It depends on requests for HTTP communication and provides methods to filter, paginate, and transform data using SoQL (Socrata Query Language) keywords. The library supports both read operations (fetching datasets, metadata, and individual records) and write operations (creating, upserting, and replacing data), as well as file attachments and dataset publication.\n\nThe package is production-stable but unmaintained as of August 31, 2022. It remains compatible with modern Python versions (3.5 through 3.10 at time of last release) and has no known vulnerabilities. Use it when you need to integrate Socrata-hosted public data into a Python application, but be aware that no new features or bugfixes will be added and you are responsible for managing any issues that arise.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to access Socrata-hosted data and accept the maintenance status. The package is stable, has low install friction, and carries no security vulnerabilities. However, do not use it for new projects requiring active maintenance or ongoing API support\u2014it is unmaintained as of August 2022 and will not receive bugfixes. Suitable for read-heavy integrations with public Socrata datasets or existing applications already using it."},"id":"sodapy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sodapy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sodapy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sodapy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-08-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sodapy","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python library for the Socrata Open Data API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":471583,"position":6478,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
