Open Dataset Finder: Data.gov, Socrata & Hugging Face Search
Search Data.gov, Socrata open-data portals and Hugging Face at once, ranked, with license, formats and download links.
What it does
Searches the public catalog APIs of Data.gov, hundreds of Socrata city, state and agency open-data portals, and the Hugging Face Hub in one run, then dedupes and ranks the results. Every row has the license, formats, last update, popularity, column names (Socrata), API endpoint and download links. Filter by format, open licenses only, freshness or a single portal. An optional add-on returns 3 sample records per Socrata dataset after checking the portal's robots.txt. License and freshness come from catalog metadata: check the source before reuse.
Use cases
- Data scientists and ML engineers looking for training or benchmark data
- Analysts and BI teams sourcing public data for dashboards
