Chicago Food Inspections — Apify Actor

Pulls Chicago food inspection records

Input

Field	Default	Notes
`results`	`Any`	Result filter: Pass / Pass w/ Conditions / Fail / Out of Business / No Entry / Not Ready / Business Not Located
`where`	—	Raw SoQL `$where` (advanced). Overrides `results`
`select`	all columns	Comma-separated `$select` columns
`order`	`inspection_date DESC`	Socrata `$order` clause
`pageSize`	`1000`	Rows per request (max 50000)
`maxResults`	`1000`	Total rows across pages (`0` = all available)
`startOffset`	`0`	Row offset to start from (resume)
`appToken`	— (secret)	Optional Socrata app token; raises rate limit
`impersonate`	`chrome`	curl_cffi fingerprint (fine to leave as-is)
`minInterval`	`0`	Min seconds between page requests
`proxyConfiguration`	proxy off	Not needed for this open API; enable only if rate-limited

Filtering: `results` vs `where`

Pick a value in results for the common case — the actor builds results='<value>' for you (single quotes are escaped).

For anything richer (date ranges, risk level, multiple conditions), put a raw SoQL clause in where, e.g.:

inspection_date > '2024-01-01' AND risk='Risk 1 (High)' AND results='Fail'

When where is set it takes precedence and results is ignored.

Behaviour

Pages through the dataset with Socrata $offset / $limit until maxResults is reached or a short page signals the end.
Each row is pushed to the default dataset as-is (the raw Socrata record).
Stops early on an empty page, a bot-wall (BlockedError), or a request error.
curl_cffi calls run via asyncio.to_thread so the async actor loop isn't blocked.

Output

One item per inspection record, e.g. (fields depend on select):

{
  "inspection_id": "2557234",
  "dba_name": "SOME RESTAURANT",
  "results": "Fail",
  "inspection_date": "2024-03-12T00:00:00.000",
  "risk": "Risk 1 (High)",
  "address": "123 N MAIN ST",
  "violations": "..."
}
