A set of classes used by the Ball State University Center for Business and Economic Research County Profiles website for pulling data from US federal data APIs.

Installing via Composer

composer require ballstatecber/cber-data-grabber:dev-master

ACS Updater (American Community Survey, US Census Bureau)

Make sure you first have a US Census Bureau API Key.

Getting processed data and saving it to a CSV file:

ACSUpdater::setAPIKey('api key goes here');
$year = '2013';
$stateId = '18'; // Indiana
$category = ACSUpdater::$POPULATION_AGE;
$processedData = ACSUpdater::getCountyData($year, $stateId, $category);
$fileName = date('Y-m-d').'_processed_county_'.$categoryName.'_'.$stateId.'_'.$year.'-00-00.csv';
ACSUpdater::writeProcessedCSV($processedData, $fileName);

Getting raw data and saving it to a CSV file:

ACSUpdater::setAPIKey('api key goes here');
$year = '2013';
$stateId = '18'; // Indiana
$category = ACSUpdater::$POPULATION_AGE;
$rawData = ACSUpdater::getRawCountyData($year, $stateId, $category);
$fileName = date('Y-m-d').'_raw_county_'.$categoryName.'_data_'.$stateId.'_'.$year.'-00-00.csv';
ACSUpdater::writeRawCSV($rawData, $fileName, $map);

CSV files are saved in the same directory that executes this script.

Available data categories:

  • ACSUpdater::$POPULATION_AGE
  • ACSUpdater::$HOUSEHOLD_INCOME
  • ACSUpdater::$ETHNIC_MAKEUP
  • ACSUpdater::$EDUCATIONAL_ATTAINMENT
  • ACSUpdater::$INEQUALITY_INDEX

BEA Updater (Bureau of Economic Analysis)

Example for saving data to a CSV file:

BEAUpdater::setAPIKey('api key goes here');
$year = '2014';
$stateId = '18'; // Indiana
BEAUpdater::updateAllCountyData($year, $stateId);
BEAUpdater::updateCountyData($year, $stateID, BEAUpdater::$WAGES, true);

BLS Updater (Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Example for saving data to a CSV file:

$endYear = '2013';
$stateID = '18'; // Indiana
BLSUpdater::updateAllCountyData($stateID, $endYear);
