dataset_columns
List the columns of a datos.gov.co dataset: field name (used in SoQL $select/$where), human label, and data type. 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 datos.gov.co dataset using SoQL. datasetId is the Socrata 4x4 code from search_datasets. SoQL clauses: $select (columns / aggregates like "count(*)"), $where (SQL-like filter, e.g. "departamento_nom='BOGOTA' AND edad > 60"), $order ("count desc"), $group, $q (full-text across the…
