我想从Socrata存储库中读取空间数据集到R中,然后将其转换为简单的要素对象.
数据集由以多边形表示的资本改进项目组成:

上述应用程序中使用的数据可通过Socrata Open Data API(SODA)访问:
library(tibble)
library(dplyr)
library(purrr)
library(sf)
library(RSocrata)
obj <- read.socrata("https://data.seattle.gov/resource/pdbw-sw7q.json") %>% as_tibble()

空间数据似乎在the_geom.coordinates列中:

看一下最后一列显示每个多边形都存储为一个数组(或多个多边形的数组列表):
# Inspect the spatial data
obj %>% select(the_geom.type, the_geom.coordinates) %>%
mutate(class = map_chr(the_geom.coordinates, class))
#> # A tibble: 113 x 3
#> the_geom.type the_geom.coordinates class
#> <chr> <list> <chr>
#> 1 Polygon <dbl [1 x 5 x 2]> array
#> 2 Polygon <dbl [1 x 16 x 2]> array
#> 3 Polygon <dbl [1 x 5 x 2]> array
#> 4 Polygon <dbl [1 x 35 x 2]> array
#> 5 Polygon <dbl [1 x 24 x 2]> array
#> 6 Polygon <dbl [1 x 15 x 2]> array
#> 7 Polygon <list [2]> list
#> 8 <NA> <NULL> NULL
#> 9 Polygon <list [2]> list
#> 10 Polygon <dbl [1 x 10 x 2]> array
#> # ... with 103 more rows
obj %>% slice(1) %>% pull
#> [[1]]

我无法使用sf包提供的工具将这些数组转换为多边形:
# Try to convert one row from the `the_geom.coordinates` column
# into a POYLGON or MULTIPOLYGON
obj[1, "the_geom.coordinates"] %>% st_polygon
#> Error in vapply(x, ncol, 0L): values must be length 1,
#> but FUN(X[[1]]) result is length 0
obj[1, "the_geom.coordinates"] %>% st_multipolygon
#> Error in MtrxSetSet(x, dim, type = "MULTIPOLYGON", needClosed = TRUE):
#> polygons not (all) closed

关于如何转换obj为sf对象的任何建议将非常感激.
你还没有geoJSON.该URL似乎获得了以某种方式编码的几何体的JSON下载.
使用最新的sf软件包,您可以:
> d = read_sf("https://data.seattle.gov/resource/pdbw-sw7q.geojson")

但是,如果您需要添加RSocrata API密钥等,或者您要求大量数据并且需要批量处理(即一次获得1000个),那么您必须手动执行此操作.RSocrata将尝试使用多个请求获取批处理数据.
RSocrata github网站上有一个关于geoJSON功能的公开请求:https://github.com/Chicago/RSocrata/issues/43但它似乎并不是很受欢迎.
