Search datasets published on the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics open-data portal (data.bts.gov). Returns each dataset's Socrata 4x4 id (e.g. "crem-w557"), name, and description. Use the id with dataset_columns and query_dataset. BTS covers aviation (passenger counts, on-time performance,…
dataset_columns
List the columns of a data.bts.gov dataset: field name (used in SoQL $select/$where), human label, and data type (number, text, calendar_date, etc.). Call this before query_dataset so you know which fields exist. datasetId is the Socrata 4x4 code from search_datasets.
query_dataset
Query rows from a data.bts.gov dataset using SoQL. datasetId is the Socrata 4x4 code from search_datasets. SoQL clauses: $select (columns / aggregates like "count(*)" or "avg(air_fare)"), $where (SQL-like filter, e.g. "date > '2024-01-01' AND state='TX'"), $order ("date desc"), $group, $q (full-tex…

query_layer
Query an ArcGIS Feature Service / Map Service layer by its url (from search_datasets). SQL-like `where`, comma-separated `out_fields`, `order_by`, `limit`, `offset`. Returns attribute rows (and geometry). Use where="1=1" + out_fields="*" to sample.
layer_info
Get an ArcGIS Feature/Map Service layer's schema by url: fields (name + type), geometry type, total record count, and capabilities.
