`la_recent`

Pack: data-la · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-la/mcp

Recent records from a common Los Angeles open dataset (data.lacity.org) by friendly name — no Socrata id needed. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for “recent crime in Los Angeles / LA”, “LAPD arrests”, “LA building permits”, “MyLA311 requests”, “active businesses in LA”. Names: crime, arrests, businesses, permits, 311. Returns the latest rows (newest-first). Add a SoQL where to filter; for anything else use la_query. (Note: LA 311 is partitioned by year — the shortcut points at the latest year; use la_datasets for other years.)

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`dataset`	string	yes	One of: crime, arrests, businesses, permits, 311.
`where`	string	no	Optional SoQL filter, e.g. “crm_cd_desc=‘BURGLARY’” or “area_name=‘Hollywood’”. Omit for all recent rows.
`limit`	number	no	Rows to return (1-1000, default 20).
