This library provides an interface to the SODA Publisher API. If you're new to all this, you may want to brush up on the getting started guide.
If you're curious about how things work under the hood, you can also browse the API documentation directly.
You can use PIP to install from git:
pip install git+https://github.com/socrata/socrata-python.git
In order to use the SODA API, you'll need both a Socrata account and an application token. To create an account, visit the Sign Up link on your preferred Socrata-powered data site.
Once you have an account, you can register an application by going to your profile page. If you're not writing a web application, you can fill in the Callback Prefix with any https://server that's a valid URL as this will not be used. You can always come back and change these fields later.
