The response is a bare JSON array — **no\ntotal-count field, no truncation flag, no `Link` header pointing to more** — a client must\nalready know to add `$limit`/`$offset` (or `$query`) to get the rest; otherwise 1000 looks\nlike \"all the data.\"\n\n**Probe 4 — SOQL `count(*)` and the Socrata \"views\" metadata API agree, and reveal the true\nscale:** `GET .../resource/gayr-92qh.json?$select=count(*)` returns `[{\"count\":\"14569\"}]` —\nthe real row count is 14,569, so the default 1000-row GET without `$limit` silently returns\n**6.9%** of the table.
