Open Data Platform transforms data into a meaningful, interactive asset that is easy to discover and surfaced to the right audiences at the right times.

• Transform your data into interactive graphs, charts, and maps
• Enhance your data's reach with discovery, query, and metadata APIs
• Maximize your data's value by sharing it with others through the built-in catalog or on social media
• Embed content within existing web pages or host it on your open data homepage
• Give technical developers, innovators, and entrepreneurs easy access to data through the Open Data API (SODA)
• Support multiple data formats — .csv, .xlsx, .json, .geojson, .zip (shapefile), and more

Because data comes from multiple sources and in varied formats, our open data platform is flexible, robust, and able to host data on a variety of topics.

• Geospatial data: supports informational maps about capital projects and schools
• Financial and economic data: tax revenues, real estate values, and hotel booking rates provide insight into the health of the government and local economy
• Public safety data: show the locations of crimes, use of force, and traffic fatalities
• Education, the environment, healthcare, parks, transportation, justice, housing, and permitting: a few other examples of how governments have used the open data platform to share data with the public
