Our Data, Your Way!
Now, for the first time, you can interact with IPUMS data products programmatically! IPUMS APIs allow you to explore and retrieve IPUMS data in a whole new way. You can automate and integrate IPUMS data into your own tools and workflows.
Our first public APIs, the IPUMS Data Extract APIs, allow you to submit a JSON request to describe the data you want, monitor our progress building your data extract, and download your data when it is ready. Currently it supports a subset of IPUMS NHGIS data. IPUMS USA coming soon!
