[data.cityofchicago.org] Chicago 311 API spec #181

Open williamhaley opened 5 months ago

I was developing an app for the old Chicago 311 Open311 API http://dev.cityofchicago.org/docs/open311/, which now appears defunct. The city cut over to a new 311 system in ~2019, and the old Open311 APIs seemed to work for a while after the transition (up to 2023 at least), but they now appear to be dead.

Through the data.cityofchicago.org open data portal I found the new 311 API is powered by Socrata. I see I can list SRs (service requests), but the data's pretty bare bones.

I found this discussion group through the API overview on the open data portal.

From a glance, it seems like the the Socrata API docs for Chicago's 311 API only support listing requests and getting details for a specific request. Is that right? Is there a more detailed spec posted anywhere? Is it possible with a token to retrieve additional details of my submitted requests? Is it possible to create 311 service requests via the API?
