Confirm Census geography support before querying
Find out which geography levels a dataset accepts before building a recurring analysis around it.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Dataset Geography JSON
Lists supported geography levels and requirements for a Census dataset.
Why this helps
A useful measure can be unavailable at the geography level a founder expects, causing rework late in research.
- Identify supported geography levels for the dataset and year.
- See required predicates and hierarchy before querying.
- Catch unsupported scope early in the research process.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis to check available geography levels and required predicates for your selected dataset and year.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test with one real dataset.
Questions about this workflow
Does this retrieve Census statistics?
No. It checks dataset geography support. Use a separate query action to retrieve estimates or counts.
Why specify the year?
Supported geographies can vary by dataset vintage, so the year helps make the check relevant to the intended query.
