DataSF open data portal

San Francisco's open data portal (data.sf.gov, a Socrata site): typed Department of Building Inspection building permits (search by address, parcel, contractor, type, status and dates, poll for new and changed permits, read one permit with its contractors, architects and engineers, rank contractors by permits and valuation), plus search the dataset catalog, read a dataset's metadata and columns, query and count rows of any dataset with SoQL ($select/$where/$order/$group/$q and bare field filters, including spatial functions), and list the portal's category and tag facets.
