Why Use the Censtats API?
-
Modern JSON-based API
Our API is based on the same standard data types that modern HTTP consumer APIs use, and developers appreciate this! Spend less time messing around with ingestion formats.
-
Set and Forget
Census data doesn't update often... but when it does, you want it quickly. You also want it in the same format, even if the Census itself adds or removes data. We normalize the underlying data types so you can focus on what really matters.
-
Push or Pull: Either Works
You can optionally configure a webhook to ping your API when data actually changes - no need to build a monitoring script to know when it's time to update.
