Access API
Data Alerts & Notifications
The Dashboard displays more than one year of data for most metrics. Due to file size constraints, the downloadable CSV and .txt files contain only the most recently available year of data for each metric (12 months of data for monthly metrics). See the codebook, linked above, for a listing of data years available for each metric and for API directions. Please note that multi-year data is available only through the Dashboard’s API. For some cities, a metric estimate may not be available in the most recent year of data, but estimates are available in prior years of data. Users can confirm data availability for prior years for specific cities by consulting the website.
API keys can be requested here.
Please email [email protected] with any questions and comments about the Dashboard's API.
