If you didn't use the service provider, you can easily create a Socrata instance like so:

```

**Create a Request**
Without service provider (con't from above)

```
$request = $soc->createRequest('7as2-ds3y');
```

Or with service provider loaded for Chicago

```
$request  = App::make('socrata-chicago')->createRequest('7as2-ds3y');
```

**filter on Socrata datasource with SoQL query**
You can use [query keywards outlined on socrata's site](http://dev.socrata.com/docs/queries.html) as methods

```
$request->where('number_of_potholes_filled_on_block>3');
$request->select('zip');
```

**simple filter**
You can also run any [simple filters](http://dev.socrata.com/docs/filtering.html) as methods.

```
$req->service_request_number('11-00026951');
```

To get JSON from response

```
$response = $req->get();
$jsonResponse = $response->json();
