Socrata

Provides Drupal integration for the Socrata open government data service via the SODA API, including a Views query solution.

There are four modules in this project:

socrata

Manages the dataset instances and allows for import/export of these definitions. When enabled, you will find a menu item under Structure > Socrata that will allow you to manage those. They can then be used in conjunction with other modules.

socrata_views

This is a query plugin for Views 3.x that allows you to build a View against a dataset instance defined above. Once enabled, when you go to add a new View it will present all the datasets configured by the socrata module. After selecting a dataset, it will allow you to map fields and format them just like you would in a normal View. Any Views 3.x-compatible display plugin that operates on fields should be able to be used to render the data. Tested recently:

• Charts
• GMap

socrata_catalog_search

This module enables site builders to build Views against the Socrata Catalog Search API to query for metadata about dataset endpoints.
Note that because of a current limitation in the API, results can only be sorted within the paged output instead of the entire result set.

socrata_filter

This provides an input filter that can be enabled for text formats. Embedding a Socrata widget in content is as simple as:

[socrata source=my_dataset width=600 height=400]

The module also provides a default template file that can be customized as needed for your theme.
