API Developers Forum Feature Requests

Are there plans to write APIs for additional datasets that are currently available? We are looking to harvest PEPAGESEX data annually...thoughts?

 

thanks

Hi,

 

are there any plans to add support for the 1980 Census and the ACS 2005-2009 5-year estimates? Any timeline on these data sources? They would be a great addition to the API.

 

Thanks!

There is a limit of 50 variables in a GET. So, I can understand, sort of, the need to limit, but many of your tables have more than 50 cells. For example: [ACSSF, B04001, 0006, , 7, 109 CELLS, , FIRST ANCESTRY REPORTED, Ancestry], has 109 cells, and if I want to get Estimates plus Margin of Errors I need to get 218 variables. So, why not accept a table number parameter instead? It would make the calls much easier and... more »

Following up on my request of 10 months ago ... it does not appear that any urban population or housing unit items are populated at the block level.

 

This is a request for Census to populate those few 2010 SF1 urban/rural update fields for all summary levels.

 

Thank you.

We are looking to pull county subdivision data for 2008-12, 2010 and 2000. Unfortunately, unlike the other two, 2000 county subdivision geography is not available for SF1 or SF3. We would love to have this data be made available through the API.

Looking to have added:
Summary Level:060 state-county-county subdivision

Provide developers with tables of valid state and county codes and any other data used as a parameter for queries

Requesting these additional data be made accessible via the API:

1 -- QuickFacts city and county

2 -- federal state coop program population estimates incrementally updated county and metro; annual components of change & age-gender-race/origin

My specific request would be for api access to the statewide non-metropolitan geographic level (need the medians so I can't back into a value). However, I realize this has to be a pretty low priority for most api users. Do the developers have a goal of adding more of these types of geos or should I expect that I'll be going to factfinder for this type of request for years to come? (Extremely happy with the current... more »

Can you add availability of Census 2010 SF1 block urban/rural data (urban/rural update); e.g. Table 2 has only items p0020001 and p0020006 populated?

 

Thank you.

This is a request for the ACS 2012 1 Year PUMA DP data to be added -- adding summary level 795 with same scope of subject matter as now available for existing ACS 2012 1 Year DP data.

I would like to access specific population data for Black African America population data by state, county and city. Is this possible today? If so how do I access the data to use for an App? If not, can this feature be created?

IS there any webservice or feature which will give me the city value for the passed coordinates. Currently, the FCC API returns FIPS Code for the coordinates, is there a way to send this FIPS code and get the city value back, any ideas, thoughts will be highly appreciated.

Is there any chance thay data from the 2005-2009 ACS might be included via the API anytime soon? (Or, barring that, is there some sort of anticipated timeline moving forward?)

 

Thanks!

Perhaps its obvious, but not taking chances ... this is a request to have ACS 2012 1 year and ACS 2012 5 year datasets available when released or soon thereafter. The ACS 2011 scope of geography would be great. 113th congressional districts should be available with the 1 year estimates. It is requested that ACS 2012 (and 2011) 1 year and 5 year subject matter be extended by adding the demographic profiles (dp2 ...... more »

I am working on a page drawing data from the 1990, 2000 and 2010 SF1 and noticed a lot of differences between them. Most importantly for me:
- the variables that can be drawn from the Geographic header varies a lot, in 2010 only the Name, in 1990 and 2000 a whole slew of variables, including a very useful AREALAND, but NAME for one is missing in 1990
- in 2010 the list of available geographies is a lot longer than in... more »
