API for IPUMS IHGIS

IHGIS Metadata

The IPUMS API allows users to explore the IHGIS data collection metadata to browse all of the data we have available within the collection.

For more details, please see the IHGIS metadata workflows and the reference documentation.

IHGIS Data Extracts

The IPUMS API allows users to submit, monitor and retrieve IHGIS extracts. The API is feature-equivalent with the IHGIS web application. That is to say, all features and options available on the web application are also available via API.

For more details, please see the IHGIS data extract workflows and reference documentation.
