This pull request introduces a stable version of an `export.socrata()` function as outlined in #126. This allows users to download the contents of a data portal to a local directory....
The `ls.socrata()` function supports the listing of all data on a data portal while `read.socrata()`. Thus, the two can be combined under `export.socrata()` to download all of the files a...
For discussion... The unit testing section of this package uses a number of datasets, such as [Socrata's USGS Earthquake dataset](http://soda.demo.socrata.com/resource/4334-bgaj.csv), some city datasets, and others. However, we cannot adequately control...
Socrata has rolled-out a new read/write metadata API that allows users to read metadata (e.g., name of data set, description, categories, tags, column descriptions, etc.) ## Reading Metadata You can...
We've been using @CityofBoston open data portal to run a unit test to ensure the package is correctly [importing data with missing dates](https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/blob/master/tests/testthat/test-all.R#L197-L203) (from #27). However, in [recent tests](https://travis-ci.org/Chicago/RSocrata/jobs/215783750#L840), it...

Some Socrata datasets now [support geojson](http://dev.socrata.com/docs/formats/geojson.html). An example is [Chicago's crime data set](https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/6zsd-86xi.geojson). This feature would support the download of geojson files through `read.socrata` or similar function. This would convert...
`write.socrata()` is tested to ensure that it can correctly write to the portal, but it does not test to ensure there is a consistent way of failing-to-write a data set....
Socrata's new [Discovery API](http://docs.socratadiscovery.apiary.io/#) allows for domain-specific and network-wide searching. That is, to search for data for a particular portal (e.g., data.cityofchicago.org) or to search across all portals that use...
CRAN tests for MacOS on their builds, so we should also include that testing in our builds. TravisCI supports MacOS builds so can add that testing, but should try to...
