What types of data can I access with this skill?

You can access any public dataset hosted on data.cityofchicago.org, including historical crime records, building permits, business licenses, CTA transit data, and environmental inspections.

Can I export Chicago data to CSV or Excel?

Yes, the skill provides specific workflows and URL formats for downloading datasets in both JSON for programmatic use and CSV for spreadsheet software.

Do I need an account to use the Chicago Data Portal skill?

While queries work without an account, they are rate-limited. For frequent or large-scale data extraction, it is recommended to sign up for a free Socrata App Token and add it to your .env file.

How do I filter data by a specific neighborhood or location?

The skill utilizes SoQL geospatial functions like within_circle and within_box, allowing you to filter results based on coordinates, radii, or specific community area IDs.
