Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## ๐ŸŒด Los Angeles Open Data Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **Export any Los Angeles Open Data dataset in seconds.** Tap **361 published datasets** including crime data, building and safety permits, business registrations, MyLA311 service requests, parking citations, traffic collisions, payroll, and more, via the official Socrata SODA API. No API key, no registration. > ๐Ÿ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-13 ยท **๐Ÿ“Š Native dataset schema** per record ยท **๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ 361 datasets** ยท **๐ŸŒด City of Los Angeles** ยท **๐Ÿ”Œ Socrata SODA API** The **Los Angeles Open Data Scraper** is a universal export tool for **every dataset on data.lacity.org**. The City of Los Angeles publishes **361 datasets** covering public safety, transportation, finance, planning, economic development, and recreation. This Actor lets you pull any of them by passing the Socrata 4x4 dataset ID, optionally adding SoQL filters (`$where`, `$select`, `$order`, `$q`), and downloading the result as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML. The catalog spans **every major LA civic data set**, including crime data from 2020 to present (`2nrs-mtv8`), the 2010-2019 crime archive (`63jg-8b9z`), building and safety permits (`nbyu-2ha9`), MyLA311 service requests (`7my7-7vrt`), parking citations (`pvwu-3di3`), traffic collisions (`6rrh-rzua`), active business registrations (`nxs9-385f`), city payroll, and many more. Output preserves the dataset's native schema and appends three metadata fields: `_datasetId`, `_datasetUrl`, and `_scrapedAt`. | ๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience | ๐Ÿ’ก Primary Use Cases | |---|---| | Civic researchers, journalists, prop-tech startups, GIS engineers, data scientists, public safety analysts, real-estate firms, urban planners, students | Civic dashboards, FOIA-style export, permit/business feeds, crime and 311 monitoring, journalism investigations, ML training data on municipal events | --- ### ๐Ÿ“‹ What the LA Open Data Scraper does Four filtering knobs map straight to Socrata SoQL: - ๐Ÿ†” **Dataset selector.** Pick any of **361 datasets** by 4x4 ID. Find IDs in the URL of any dataset page on `data.lacity.org`. - ๐Ÿ” **WHERE clause.** Standard SoQL `$where`, e.g. `crm_cd_desc='BURGLARY' AND date_occ>'2026-01-01'`. - ๐Ÿ“‹ **SELECT clause.** Limit returned columns via `$select`. - ๐Ÿ“ˆ **ORDER clause.** Sort with `$order`, e.g. `date_occ DESC`. - ๐Ÿ”Ž **Full-text search.** Free-text `$q` across all string columns. Each record returns the dataset's native columns verbatim (with Socrata's internal `:@computed_region_*` lookup columns stripped to keep the output clean), plus three appended metadata fields: `_datasetId`, `_datasetUrl`, and `_scrapedAt`. Pagination is automatic and capped at 1,000,000 rows. > ๐Ÿ’ก **Why it matters:** Los Angeles publishes one of the largest municipal open-data catalogs in the country, but the SODA API has its own query language, paging quirks, and computed-region noise. This Actor turns that into a clean, paginated export with no Socrata code on your side. --- ### ๐ŸŽฌ Full Demo _๐Ÿšง Coming soon: a 3-minute walkthrough showing how to go from sign-up to a downloaded LA dataset._ --- ### โš™๏ธ Input

Paste the Socrata 4x4 ID of any LA dataset, optionally add SoQL filters and `maxItems`, click Start, and the Actor pages through the SODA API and emits the records verbatim with three appended metadata fields. No browser automation, no captchas, no setup. #### ๐Ÿ†” How do I find a dataset ID? Browse the catalog at [data.lacity.org](https://data.lacity.org). Every dataset URL ends in a 4x4 ID like `2nrs-mtv8` (crime 2020-present) or `7my7-7vrt` (MyLA311). Paste that ID into the input form. #### ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ How many datasets are supported? All **361 datasets currently exposed on data.lacity.org** are enumerated in the input dropdown. New datasets are added by the City regularly; reach out if you need a specific one that isn't yet in the list. #### ๐Ÿ” What is SoQL? SoQL is Socrata's SQL-like query language for the SODA API. The Actor exposes `$where`, `$select`, `$order`, and `$q` as input fields. Reference docs: [dev.socrata.com](https://dev.socrata.com/docs/queries/). A short cheat sheet: `$where=col='value'`, `$order=col DESC`, `$select=col1,col2`, `$q=search text`. #### ๐Ÿงน Why are some columns missing from the output? Socrata appends internal `:@computed_region_*` lookup columns to most datasets. These are noise for downstream analytics, so the Actor strips them automatically. Everything else in the dataset's native schema is passed through verbatim. #### ๐Ÿ”„ How fresh is the data? The City of Los Angeles updates each dataset on its own cadence (some daily, some weekly, some monthly). Every run of this Actor fetches the latest data available on data.lacity.org as of run time. #### ๐Ÿšซ Why did I get a 401 or 403 error? A small number of datasets are private and require Socrata authentication. The Actor will return a clean `{error: ...}` record indicating which one. Public datasets work without any credentials. #### โฐ Can I schedule regular runs? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval (hourly, daily, weekly) and keep a downstream database in sync. #### ๐Ÿ’ณ Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor? No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and gives you access to scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger datasets. #### โš–๏ธ Is this data legal to use? Yes. LA Open Data is published under the City of Los Angeles Open Data Policy and is generally free to reuse with attribution. Specific datasets may carry additional notes on their landing page; check before commercial redistribution. #### ๐Ÿ†˜ What if I need help? Our support team is here to help.
