Explore IPUMS CPS Metadata
At this time, there is not API support for IPUMS CPS metadata. While we hope to provide support in the future, it is possible to use the IPUMS CPS website to gather all of the necessary information to make a request to the IPUMS API. This includes information such as sample IDs and variable mnemonics.
In particular, we’d like to draw your attention to the IPUMS CPS sample IDs page. The variable mnemonics are displayed when viewing variables in the IPUMS CPS extract building interface.
