What changes when you pay
The free portal gives you
- A live table on Analyze Boston that gets overwritten the next time the city re-publishes it
- Applicant and comment columns still carrying names, if you keep them yourself
- No dated snapshot -- what you download today may not match next month
- No delivery -- you write your own export
This file gives you
- One CSV of the work-type slice you name, cut from the 661,051 rows we pulled on 26 Aug 2026
- Applicant and comment columns with person names already taken out
- A dated pull (26 Aug 2026), sliced so you can check it against the sample before you pay
- A person emails you that slice as a CSV within one working day of your reply naming the slice
A real slice of the file, not a mock-up

Licence. The City of Boston published these rows under the Open Data Commons Public Domain Dedication and License (PDDL) v1.0. Analyze Boston stays free. We are selling one assembled CSV of a work-type slice, with the applicant and comments columns taken out, as of the pull date named on this page.
661,051 is what we hold, not what the city has ever published. A row we did not pull is not in the file you buy. The portal itself stays free.
Person columns are stripped. The outbound name guard refuses a paid file whose header names a person or a way to reach one. Those columns stay in the city's portal and stay out of what we sell.

How it works

- A person emails you that slice as a CSV within one working day of your reply naming the slice.

See the file before you pay
You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Here are 25 rows of the real thing, carrying all 22 of its columns, cut out of the dated copies we sealed ourselves. Nothing in it is made up and nothing in it is tidied up.
- Open the 25 rows as a CSVA plain spreadsheet file. It saves to your machine rather than painting itself into a browser tab, and it opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
- The same 25 rows as JSONThe same rows again, laid out for reading with code.
What arrives after you pay: the buyer receives what you asked for as a CSV — the same plain spreadsheet as the sample file above, not a login and not a web page —.
