Welcome to the new NYC Open Data website!
We’ve launched a new site with improved dataset discovery, more resources to get started using Open Data, and a relaunched Open Data Project Gallery.
New York City’s Open Data has changed a lot since datasets were first posted on the "NYC Data Mine" in 2009. The nation’s first Open Data Law was passed, the Open Data Week festival has gathered thousands of New Yorkers in person and online to celebrate public data, and billions of rows of data from dozens of City agencies have been published.
We’re proud to launch our latest change: a newly designed site with a new logo, a news page, video user guides, and a relaunched project gallery! Many thanks are due to our OTI colleagues on the nyc.gov team, who have made this one of the first sites to launch in the city’s new web design language. That same team is also responsible for designing our new logo, which marries an asterisk (the function to select all columns in a database) and a bar chart with the sun rising over a skyscraper.
For the first time, we will be able to share updates from NYC Open Data on a dedicated News page. This is an online home for past issues of the Open Data newsletter, The Data Point, as well as where you’ll find updates on the Open Data Week festival, classes where you can learn more about Open Data, details on exciting new datasets, and more.
Our user guides page hosts walkthroughs of how to find the data you’re looking for, apply filters and export the data, and to start working with the Open Data API. While we will continue to teach New Yorkers how to use NYC Open Data, we hope this page will better serve those who are looking to learn at their own pace.
More information about our relaunched Project Gallery is available in a separate post, but in short, we’re excited to share more projects, including from our city government colleagues, and more information about how the projects were created. We hope you’ll be inspired to create your own projects powered by NYC Open Data, which you can submit to the project gallery.
We hope the new site makes it easier for everyone to use NYC Open Data and to learn more about our work. If you have comments or feedback, you can always reach out to our team using the Open Data help desk.
