Overview of Census Bureau#
The Census Bureau API provides access to a wealth of demographic and economic data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau. In Pipedream, this powerful API can be harnessed to create custom workflows that automate data retrieval, process statistics, and integrate with other services for enhanced analysis and reporting. By leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, you can set up scheduled tasks or event-driven triggers to interact with the Census Bureau's data, making it easier to incorporate this information into your applications, research, or business intelligence tools.
Connect Census Bureau#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
census_bureau: {
type: "app",
app: "census_bureau",
}
},

return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.census.gov/data/2019/pep/charagegroups`,
params: {
get: `NAME,POP`,
for: `state:*`,
key: `${this.census_bureau.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Node#
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.
Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Node#
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
