Get restaurant and food facility inspections for Pittsburgh and all of Allegheny County, PA, as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. The data comes from the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD), published on the official Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center (WPRDC) open data API.

What you get

Each result is one inspection, deduplicated on inspectionId (the source occasionally contains duplicate rows): facility name, type, address, municipality, inspection date and purpose, placard result (Inspected & Permitted, Consumer Alert, Closure, Permit Denied...), reinspection flag and permit status. Violation details are not included, only the placard outcome.

Use cases

• Food safety and pest control sales: find facilities that just got a Consumer Alert or Closure.
• Restaurant suppliers and POS vendors: spot new facilities by business start date.
• Journalists and researchers: track closures by municipality.
• Monitoring: schedule daily runs with a recent inspectedSince date.
