Why this helps
Finding the right Census query structure can slow down otherwise straightforward market research.
- See example query structures for a chosen dataset and vintage.
- Review example variables and geography patterns.
- Spend less time piecing together query parameters from scratch.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to Census bureau once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe the dataset and vintage and ask for query examples relevant to your intended geography.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real dataset and check that the examples help frame your next data request.
Questions about this workflow
Does an example query return my market data?
No. It provides example query patterns. Run a data retrieval action to get estimates for your chosen geography.
What should I include in the request?
Provide the dataset and vintage, plus the geography level or research question you want the examples to inform.
