Lobbyist Data - Clients

Clients represented by registered lobbyists as reported in their Lobbyist Statements of Registration. Due to requirements for lobbyists to re-register and the importance of showing year for most lobbying-related data, the same client often will have multiple records. See http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/ethics/provdrs/lobby.html for more information on the Board of Ethics' role in regulating and reporting on lobbying in Chicago.

Querying over HTTP

Splitgraph serves as an HTTP API that lets you run SQL queries directly on this data to power Web applications. For example:

curl https://data.splitgraph.com/sql/query/ddn \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d@-<<EOF
{"sql": "
    SELECT *
    FROM \"cityofchicago/lobbyist-data-clients-g8p5-y4m5\".\"lobbyist_data_clients\"
    LIMIT 100 
"}
EOF

See the Splitgraph documentation for more information.
