   Pretty good. Submit a short form to request key -> got key in email -> one click to active. That's it.

   I have a problem accessing the registration form : http://www.census.gov/developers/tos/key_request.html

   It says that "The server at api.census.gov is taking too long to respond."

   what is this due to ?

   are there some geographical restrictions ? (since i am not in the US).

   The information is limited to the US, but can be used anywhere with an internet connection. The server was restarted and should be available now.

   The process was seamless with a fast response from Census for the url key.
