Good to know

  • Service requests: The first run loads the last 2 days. After that, each run keeps the last 2 days current, re-reading a day once its copy is 1 or more days old. Older requests keep the values they had when last read.
  • Service types: Re-read in full at most once a day. Rows that changed are updated, and rows the source removes stay in your table.

How it works

  1. Choose Lincoln NE 311. The data is public, so there is nothing to sign in to.
  2. Pick where it goes. BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift and 10 more, in an account you own.
  3. Pick a schedule. Daily is the default, and weekly and monthly are there too.
  4. Ingest runs it from then on. If a run fails, your dashboard shows which table and why.

Questions

What does the Lincoln NE 311 data include?
2 tables: service requests (one row per service request) and service types (one row per service type).
Do I need an account with Lincoln NE 311?
No. The data is public, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to paste in.
Which warehouses can Lincoln NE 311 data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
How fresh is the data?
As fresh as your schedule: daily by default, or weekly or monthly. Schedules as often as every 15 minutes are on the Enterprise plan.
Will running it again create duplicate rows?
No. Each row is stored once, by its key: when a run reads a row that is already there, it replaces that copy instead of adding a second one.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

Resources

ResourceStatusPlanWritePrimary keyOverrides
service_requests
Public requests from the selected creation-history period, defaulting to the last two completed days. Completed days within the horizon become eligible for refresh after one day; edits are captured when their creation day is read again. Increase lookback_days to include older creation days. Requests outside the horizon and records removed from the source retain their last synced values. Requests are not filtered by membership in the current service-type catalog. Older completed days wait longer between reads, becoming eligible again only after the longer of the refresh interval and a twentieth of their age at their last read (with the default interval, a day read at 40 days old waits 2 days).

Public service types returned by the Lincoln SeeClickFix catalog. The catalog becomes eligible for refresh after one day and merges by service code; previously synced types remain if removed from the source. It does not filter the requests collection.
