Citywide Public Computer Centers

A public computing center (“PCC”) is a facility offering computers with internet access. It may also offer other devices, services, and digital literacy and digital skills programming, for example. A PCC may be funded in whole, or in part, with public dollars in order to provide a public service (i.e., access to digital inclusion resources). Some PCCs are open to the general public while others may have membership criteria such as age. As an inventory, and as feasible, OTI’s purpose was to collect, count, and map where and how the City supports this kind of public access to the internet.

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 \"cityofnewyork-us/citywide-public-computer-centers-sejx-2gn3\".\"citywide_public_computer_centers\"
    LIMIT 100 
"}
EOF
