Some Decennial Endpoints Have Been Removed

Dear Census API User,

 

API endpoints for the deprecated Decennial ontology - including SF1 and SF3 - have been removed. This is due to a technical change to our infrastructure. We are also in the process of removing these endpoints from the discovery tool as well. Please update any code leveraging these endpoints. This applies to all Decennial endpoint vintages the are not prefixed with /dec (1990 & 2000, e.g., https://api.census.gov/data/2000/sf3.html ).

 

We are working to migrate the 2000 Census SF3 to the new endpoint at:

https://api.census.gov/data/2000/dec/sf3.html

 

The new endpoint will be the full set of data that contains all geographic areas, instead of the few types of geographic areas that were available in the deprecated endpoints.

 

The 2000 SF1 data can be found at its new address:

https://api.census.gov/data/2000/dec/sf1.html.

In the meantime, if you need 2000 Census SF3 data, it is available through the file transfer protocol (FTP) site at: 

https://www2.census.gov/census_2000/datasets/Summary_File_3/

 

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
