Data API

Introduction

Let's breakdown an example data call:

http://api.datausa.io/api/?show=cip&sumlevel=all

In its most basic form, all API calls required two parameters: a show variable and a sumlevel variable. In this example we are showing "cip" (aka CIP, Classification of Instructional Programs) across all sumlevels. CIP codes are available at four basic sumlevels: 2-digit (high level), 4 digit, 6-digit (most detailed) and all (2, 4 and 6).

If we only want the high level CIP codes, we could ask for:

http://api.datausa.io/api/?show=cip&sumlevel=2

If we look at the response, we are receiveing many columns. If we are only interested an a particular column we can ask for just that:

http://api.datausa.io/api/?show=cip&sumlevel=2&required=grads_total

If we want multiple columns, we can provide a comma-separated list to required:

http://api.datausa.io/api/?show=cip&sumlevel=2&required=grads_men,grads_women

Query Parameters

parameter	accepted values	description
force	schema_name.table_name (Example)	Forces the use of a particular data table.
limit	integer	Limits the number of rows returned by the query.
order	any available column name	Column name to use for ordering the resulting data array.
show (required)	any available attribute	A comma-separated list of attributes to show in the query.
sort	`desc` or `asc`	Changes the sort order of the returned data array.
sumlevel (required)	any available sumlevel for the given attribute	This restricts the data fetched to only display the specified sumlevel(s). If more than one "show" attribute is specified, sumlevel must be a comma-separated list with a value for each attribute.
required	any available column name	A comma-separated list of column names to be returned in the query.
where	see documentation	Advanced filtering of columns, similar to the WHERE clause on SQL.
year	`latest`, `oldest`, `all`, 4-digit year	Filters the returned data to the given year.

Basic Filtering

There are two main ways to filter rows in the DataUSA API. One way is through strict equality. For example, if you were looking at all top level NAICS:

http://api.datausa.io/api?show=naics&sumlevel=0

You could filter the results to only show data from NAICS code 23, by adding &naics=23 to the URL:

http://api.datausa.io/api?show=naics&sumlevel=0&naics=23

This is true for any column: you may restrict API results to that column through strict equality by using column_name=value.

Advanced Filtering

Sometimes, however, it's necessary to filter not merely by equality but by other mechanisms. Using the where query parameter provides access to more complicated expressions. The basic syntax of using where is: &where**=column_name:condition

Let's say we wanted to filter the results of an API call to only show top-level industries containing more than an estimated 10M people in the workforce. Here is how we would write that:

http://api.datausa.io/api/?show=naics&sumlevel=0&where=num_ppl:>10000000

Here is a list of the available expressions:

expression	operator	example syntax
greater than	>	&where=num_ppl:>10000000
less than	<	&where=num_ppl:<10000000
string starts with	^	&where=naics:^23
string ends with	$ (placed after text)	&where=naics:3$
not equal (integer)	!	&where=avg_wage_rank:!1
not equal (string)	str!	&where=geo:str!04000US25

Substitutions

Sometimes, when requesting data for a specific attribute, the underlying dataset may only contain data for a higher level. For example, the County Health Records (CHR) dataset only contains geographies down to the county, so when requesting health data for a deeper geography the API will automatically find the closest parent. Take this example:

http://api.datausa.io/api/?show=geo&required=diabetes&sumlevel=all&geo=31000US14460

Here we are requesting the diabetes rate for the Boston-Cambridge-Newtown, MA-NH Metro Area, but because that depth is not available for this dataset, the API returns data for the state of Massachusetts. When looking at the JSON data that is returned, this substitution is passed as the "subs" key:

{
  "data": ...,
  "headers": ...,
  "source": ...,
  "subs": {
    "geo": "04000US25"
  },
  "logic": ...
}

Limitations

The API mirrors the underlying aggregated table structure. Consequently, currently not all possible variables are available for simultaneous retrieval from the API. Check each dataset's table lists to understand supported variable combinations. To address this issue we have created the Join API.

Download as CSV

To download the data as a CSV, simply add csv into the URL as follows:

Note: num_ppl represents people over the age of 16 in the workforce. In the ygb table, num_ppl is replaced by num_over5 to represent all people over the age of 5 years old.

Aggregation Methodology

Data USA incorporates 4 universes from the ACS PUMS dataset (the default usually being "Workforce"). Here are is the aggregation criteria for these workforces:

Workforce Universe (e.g. num_ppl)

WAGP > 0
AGEP >= 16
ESR is one of: 1, 2, 4, 5

Full-time Universe (e.g. num_ppl_ft)

WAGP > 0
AGEP >= 16
WKHP >= 35
ESR is one of: 1, 2, 4, 5

Part-time Universe (e.g. num_ppl_pt)

WAGP > 0
AGEP >= 16
WKHP < 35
ESR is one of: 1, 2, 4, 5

5+ Universe (only for num_over5)

AGEP >= 5

All wage estimate values are adjusted using the ADJINC variable.

5-year Estimates

Geographies, industries and occupation classifications can change in the middle of a single 5-year PUMS estimate. Since data are recorded in the classification in which they are collected, these changes add additional uncertainty to the PUMS 5-year estimate. In order to compensate in many cases for the lack of 1:1 mappings between old and new classifications, we will, apply a randomized redistribution from the old classification system to the new one. For occupations and industries the probability is based upon the Census Bureau's Industry and Occupation Conversion Rates tables. For geography (the issue only arises with PUMA-level data) it is based upon IPUMS' crosswalk methodology.

O*NET

Data USA uses the Skills.txt file from revision 19.0 of the O*NET Database.

Skills by Course

We crosswalk the O*NET codes to CIP codes using data from the National Crosswalk Service Center and compute mean level values for each CIP at 2, 4 and 6-digit levels.

value	value describing the importance of the skill to the course

Skills by Occupation

We use the level values (SCALEID=LV) for each skill. In addition the values provided directly by ONET we also compute additional values based on parent grouping. This allows to provide reference data for an occupation's parent grouping if it is not available in the ONET skills database.
