انگریزی ماخذ: Reference
انگریزی ماخذ: Where the records come from
انگریزی ماخذ: Which publishers CityScroll reads, how current their records are, and what falls outside what it can show you.
انگریزی ماخذ: Everything here was published by someone else
انگریزی ماخذ: CityScroll holds no records of its own. Every record on it was published by a New York City agency, a state body, or another official publisher, and every record keeps a link back to that published copy. CityScroll is independent of city government and speaks for no agency.
انگریزی ماخذ: The largest single source is The City Record, the city's own daily publication of official notices, which is also released as open data. Alongside it sit the city's contract, budget, payroll, buildings, planning, civil-service and property datasets, and a few state publishers.
انگریزی ماخذ: How often the sources change
انگریزی ماخذ: Some publishers release as things happen, and some release on a cycle. That difference is the commonest reason something the city has already done has not reached this site yet, so it is worth knowing which kind of source you are reading.
| انگریزی ماخذ: How it refreshes | انگریزی ماخذ: What that means for what you read | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| انگریزی ماخذ: As things happen | انگریزی ماخذ: The publisher updates this as records are filed, so what you see follows the city closely. | 18 |
| انگریزی ماخذ: On the publisher's schedule | انگریزی ماخذ: The publisher releases on a cycle — daily, monthly, yearly. Between releases, the newest thing the city did may not be here yet. | 36 |
| انگریزی ماخذ: Checked by a person | انگریزی ماخذ: There is no machine feed, so a person re-checks the publisher's page. These carry the date they were checked. | 4 |
| انگریزی ماخذ: A closed set | انگریزی ماخذ: The publisher has stopped adding to this. It is complete for the period it covers and will not grow. | 4 |
| انگریزی ماخذ: A pointer to another source | انگریزی ماخذ: This names where the records live rather than carrying them, so the official page is the thing to read. | 1 |
انگریزی ماخذ: For each source’s use and refresh requirements, see the source ledger.
انگریزی ماخذ: What coverage means
انگریزی ماخذ: Coverage is not one number, and CityScroll does not offer one. It varies by source, and there are four different ways a source can be working perfectly and still not answer your question.
| انگریزی ماخذ: The case | انگریزی ماخذ: What it means for what you see |
|---|---|
| انگریزی ماخذ: The source is complete but narrow | انگریزی ماخذ: The City Record covers what the city publishes in The City Record. Things the city does elsewhere are not in it |
| انگریزی ماخذ: The source is read but not joined | انگریزی ماخذ: The record is here and the record that would connect it to what you are reading is not, so the connection is absent although both ends exist |
| انگریزی ماخذ: The source is closed | انگریزی ماخذ: The publisher has stopped adding to it. It stays because it is the record of its period |
| انگریزی ماخذ: The source is paused | انگریزی ماخذ: It is not currently being read. It stays listed rather than quietly disappearing, so a stopped feed cannot be mistaken for a subject with nothing in it |
انگریزی ماخذ: For how much is here and what period it spans, the stats page is the place. For the endpoints, feeds and upstream datasets, the API page is.
انگریزی ماخذ: What is not covered
- انگریزی ماخذ: Anything the city has not published. Where a decision was made and no public record of it was released, you will not find it here. That absence tells you about publication and nothing about the decision.
- انگریزی ماخذ: Anything published in a form that cannot be joined. A document released only as a scan, or with no identifier tying it to anything else, may be published and still unreachable from a record you are reading.
- انگریزی ماخذ: Anything private. Records about identifiable individuals — exam scores, applicant details — are not published by the city as open data and are not here.
انگریزی ماخذ: When a source is having a bad day
انگریزی ماخذ: A source that could not be reached is a different thing from a source with nothing to say, and the site keeps them apart. A page that could not load its records says so, and retrying or opening the official source is the way through. Reading a temporary failure as an absence of records is the mistake this distinction exists to prevent.
انگریزی ماخذ: The same goes the other way. A record set that is genuinely empty says it is empty, rather than showing an error and leaving you to guess.
