[**Socrata**](https://socrata.com/) is an open data service often used by the government sector in providing public data online. This node simplifies the connection to any Socrata API endpoint and also allows SoQL (Socrata Query Language) to be written in the node as JSON.

A _Test Query_ button in this node also makes it easier to test out your SoQL queries without constantly re-deploying your flows.

The node provides two discrete outputs – a JSON object containing the results, and a row count of the results, which may be useful for iterating through the result set

Like [node-red-contrib-particle](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-contrib-particle-v0-1-2-updated/3809), I reckon this node has gone through sufficient rounds of tests in my classrooms for me to post this belated release announcement here 🙂

Cheers
