Updating Spatial data in Socrata?

Hi there,

I currently use FME to mantain open datasets which are hosted on a Socrata-based platform, utilising FME's Socrata Writer. One of the limitations I've found with this Writer is that it only supports tabular data. I'd like to automate the update of our spatial data, which are published as shapefiles in a compressed .zip format.

Are there any pre-existing Workbenches which interact with the Socrata API in such a way that I can automate the upload-replace process with these shapefiles? I believe that Socrata has developed their own DataSync Java application which performs this action, but if I can automate this process within FME it would be preferred.

Many thanks!
