BEA API for Data Retrieval User Guide Introduction The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) publishes economic statistics in a variety of formats. This document describes the BEA Data Retrieval Application Programming Interface (API) – including detailed instructions for retrieving data and meta-data published by BEA. The API is intended to provide programmatic access to published economic statistics using industry-standard methods and procedures. The intended audience of this document is programmers who are familiar with the concepts and techniques of retrieving data from Web Services. The BEA API includes methods for retrieving a subset of BEA statistical data, and meta-data that describes it. As additional datasets are added, the meta-data retrieval methods can be used to discover the current data accessible through the API. Access to the BEA API The API is available to registered users on the BEA public web site. Before using the API, users must obtain a unique 36-character UserID by registering at https://www.bea.gov/api/signup/ . To register, API users must provide their name (or organization name), a valid email address, and agree to the published terms of service. After completing the registration form an email is sent containing the assigned UserID, and a link that completes the registration process. Assigned UserIDs are activated when the link has been clicked. The URI1 of the API is: https://www.bea.gov/api/data. All API access is through this URI; no other paths are used. Data is retrieved by sending an HTTP GET to the URI with appropriate (querystring) parameters supplied. The minimum parameters for every request include the UserID and the name of the method being invoked. For example: https://www.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36Character-Key&method=GETDATASETLIST& would retrieve a list of the datasets currently offered by the BEA API (if the UserID was valid – it’s not). Statistical data offered by the API is organized into defined “Datasets”. An API data retrieval request always specifies one dataset by name. Each dataset has a number of defined parameters, and each parameter has a defined set of valid values. There are four API methods that return meta-data about the API – corresponding to datasets, parameters, and valid parameter values. There is one method that returns data. 1 Uniform Resource Identifier Page 1 of 14 October 11, 2017 JavaScript Usage While the API may be used from any language capable of issuing HTTP requests (Java, PHP, Perl, Python, C, etc. ), two features are supported that allow JavaScript to issue requests without violating same-origin security checks - CORS and JSONP. If you're writing a browser-based web application for modern web browsers with support for CORS then you may simply use an XMLHttpRequest as usual, without any changes. All HTTP responses generated by the API will include the necessary CORS headers. If you're writing a browser-based web application for legacy browsers without support for CORS then your request URL query string may include a jsonp argument. If present, this prefix will be wrapped around the response, allowing you to capture the result of the query. For example: https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetData&datasetname=RegionalIncome&TableName=CA4&LineCode=30&GeoFIPS=COUN T Y&Year=2013&ResultFormat=json&jsonp=MY_FUNCTION_NAME Data Return Format The API returns data in one of two formats: JSON2 or XML3. The optional ResultFormat parameter can be included on any request to specify the format of the results. If ResultFormat is not supplied on the request, or an invalid ResultFormat is specified, the default format returned is JSON. The valid values for ResultFormat are “JSON” and “XML”. For example, the following request would return a list of the available datasets in XML format: https://www.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your36CharacterKey&method=GETDATASETLIST&ResultFormat=XML& This request would return a list of the available datasets in JSON format: https://www.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GETDATASETLIST&ResultFormat=JSON& The data returned from the API always has the following basic structure, with some additional structure depending on the data requested:2 3 Java Script Object Notation Extensible Markup Language Page 2 of 14 October 11, 2017 In XML form, the root node is always , followed by the child node . The node contains children that echo the parameters passed in the request. The root node, , then has another child node, , containing the results of the request. The Results content is different depending on the method and parameters passed. In this example, the result of the GetDatasetList method is shown to be a simple list of Dataset names and descriptions. In JSON form, the example above returns data as follows (white-space and indentation added for clarity): { "BEAAPI":{ "Request":{ "RequestParam":[ { "ParameterName":"USERID", "ParameterValue":" Your-36CharacterKey " }, { "ParameterName":"RESULTFORMAT", "ParameterValue":"JSON" }, { "ParameterName":"METHOD", "ParameterValue":"GETDATASETLIST" } ] }, "Results":{ "Dataset": [ { "DatasetName":"NIPA", "DatasetDescription":"Standard NIPA tables" }, { "DatasetName":"NIUnderlyingDetail", "DatasetDescription":"Standard NI underlying detail tables" }, { "DatasetName":"MNE", "DatasetDescription":"Multinational Enterprises" }, { "DatasetName":"FixedAssets", "DatasetDescription":"Standard Fixed Assets tables" }, { "DatasetName":"ITA", "DatasetDescription":"International Transactions Accounts" }, { "DatasetName":"IIP", "DatasetDescription":"International Investment Position" }, { "DatasetName":"GDPbyIndustry", "DatasetDescription":"GDP by Industry" }, { "DatasetName":"RegionalIncome", "DatasetDescription":"Regional Income data sets" }, { "DatasetName":"RegionalProduct", "DatasetDescription":"Regional Product data sets" } ] } } } Page 3 of 14 October 11, 2017 Error Return Format When invalid values are supplied for parameters in a request, or required parameters are missing, the results contain an error message – for example: API Calling Limits The API has default calling limits as shown below. These limits are meant to protect BEA’s API and webserver infrastructure from activity that may be detrimental to that infrastructure and/or unfairly impede other API users. • 1000 API calls per minute, and/or • 30 errors per minute, and/or • 50 MB (raw data) per minute. Any user that exceeds the above calling limits will receive an explanatory error message for each API call until the per-minute cause has expired. The best way to avoid such errors is to design your application to call the API within these limits, e.g., programmatically regulate the frequency/size of API calls. Meta-Data API Methods The API contains three methods for retrieving meta-data as follows: G et D at a S et L i st – retrieves a list of the datasets currently offered. Required Parameters: UserID, Method Optional Parameters: ResultFormat Result: Dataset node with DatasetName and DatasetDescription attributes. Example Request: https://www.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your36CharacterKey&method=GETDATASETLIST&ResultFormat=XML& Example Return: Page 4 of 14 October 11, 2017 The RegionalData data set is obsolete and API calls using this data set will no longer function. Users should instead access the datasets RegionalIncome and RegionalProduct, which provide comprehensive detail in statistics, industries, geography, and years. See Appendices I and J for instructions on how to use these two data sets. In addition, BEA continues to add new datasets as appropriate, and while any new datasets will be announced on the BEA’s website Developers page (https:/www.bea.gov/developers), we also encourage users to periodically call the above GETDATASETLIST discover new datasets. G et P a ra m et er L i st – retrieves a list of the parameters (required and optional) for a particular dataset. Required Parameters: UserID, Method, DatasetName Optional Parameters: ResultFormat Result: Parameter node with attributes: • ParameterName – the name of the parameter as used in a data request • ParameterDataType – String or Integer • ParameterDescription – a description of the parameter • ParameterIsRequired – 0 if the parameter can be omitted from a request, 1 if required • ParameterDefaultValue – the default value used for the request if the parameter is not supplied • MultipleAcceptedFlag – 0 if the parameter may only have a single value, 1 if multiple values are permitted. Note that multiple values for a parameter are submitted as a comma-separated string. • AllValue – the special value for a parameter that means all valid values are used without supplying them individually. Example Request 1: https://www.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=getparameterlist&datasetname=RegionalIncome&ResultFormat=XML Example Return 1: In this example, the parameters for the “RegionalIncome” dataset are being requested. The results indicate that the dataset has four parameters: GeoFips, LineCode, TableName, and Year. GeoFips is a string typed parameter indicating the geographic codes requested. GeoFIPS is required. Page 5 of 14 October 11, 2017 Multiple values are accepted, in a comma-delimited list, and there are special values such as COUNTY for all counties. TableName is a string typed parameter that specifies what table has the statistic requested. We can’t tell from this what the valid TableNames are, but we can see that it is required (and therefore has no default value), and that multiple values are not allowed (and therefore there is no special “all” value). LineCode specifies the requested statistic in the table. This integer is the line code in the table specified in the TableName parameter. We don’t know what these line codes are, but we can send another request to find out. Year is a string typed parameter containing the years requested. It is not required in a request, and if is not included, the default value used is “LAST5”. A comma-delimited list of years is accepted, as well as other special values like “LAST10” and “ALL”. Example Request 2: https://www.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=getparameterlist&datasetname=RegionalProduct&ResultFormat=XML Example Return 2: In this example, the parameters for the “RegionalProduct” dataset are being requested. The results indicate that the dataset has four parameters: GeoFips, Component, IndustryId, and Year. GeoFIPS is a string typed parameter described as the GeoFIPS code. GeoFIPS is required. Multiple values are accepted, and there are special parameters to specify a group of areas, like “STATE” for all states. Component is an integer corresponding to a GDP component. We don’t have the list of Components in this request but we can tell it is required. Industry is an integer used to specify which industry is being requested for a given Component. We can’t tell from this what the industryIds are, but we can see that it is required (and therefore has no default value), and that multiple values are not allowed (and therefore there is no special “all” value). Year is string typed parameter described as “Year”. It is not required in a request, and if is not included, the default value used is “LAST5” for the last available five years. “ALL” and “LAST10” are also available. To choose specific years, submit a comma-delimited list of years, like “1990,2000,2010”. G et P a ra m et erV a lu es – retrieves a list of the valid values for a particular parameter. Page 6 of 14 October 11, 2017 Required Parameters: UserID, Method, DatasetName, ParameterName Optional Parameters: ResultFormat Result: ParamValue node with attributes that contain the actual permissible values (and usually a description of the value). Example Request 1: https://bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetParameterValues&datasetname=RegionalProduct&ParameterName=Comp onent& Example Return 1: Example Request 2: https://bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetParameterValues&datasetname=RegionalIncome&ParameterName=TableName&ResultFor mat=XML Example Return 2: Page 8 of 14 October 11, 2017 To summarize, the API includes three methods that retrieve meta-data about the statistics that are available: GetDatasetList, GetParameterList, and GetParameterValues. There is also a new method called GetParameterValuesFiltered. G et P a ra m et erV a lu esFi lt ered – retrieves a list of the valid values for a particular parameter based on other provided parameters. In our example above with the RegionalIncome data set, it is necessary to supply a TableName and LineCode. You will want to discover the LineCode values available for a given TableName. The GetParameterValuesFiltered method is designed to do this. GetParameterValuesFiltered will return values for one target parameter based on the values of other named parameters. Example request to retrieve the valid LineCode values for a given TableName: https://bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetParameterValuesFiltered&datasetname=RegionalIncome&TargetParameter=LineCode&T a bleName=SA1&ResultFormat=XML Example return: Page 7 of 14 October 11, 2017 All results from GetParameterValuesFiltered contain “Desc” and “Key”. Key is the value you will want to pass in as a parameter to the data request for the target parameter you specified. In our example, a desired Key will be passed into LineCode. Although there is only one TargetParameter, mulitiple other parameters may be passed in. For example you may want to know what years are available for a given TableName and GeoFips-Example request: https://bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetParameterValuesFiltered&datasetname=RegionalIncome&TargetParameter=Year&Table Na me=CA5N&GeoFips=01001&ResultFormat=XML Example return: Desc="2001" Desc="2002" Desc="2003" Desc="2004" Desc="2005" Desc="2006" Desc="2007" Desc="2008" Desc="2009" Desc="2010" Desc="2011" Desc="2012" Desc="2013" Desc="2014" Key="2001"/> Key="2002"/> Key="2003"/> Key="2004"/> Key="2005"/> Key="2006"/> Key="2007"/> Key="2008"/> Key="2009"/> Key="2010"/> Key="2011"/> Key="2012"/> Key="2013"/> Key="2014"/> There are many more examples of using GetParameterValuesFiltered in the Regional appendices I and J. Please note that the GetParameterValuesFiltered method does not yet work with all BEA data sets. If you try GetParametersValuesFiltered on a data set that does not yet support it, an error will be returned- ParameterValue="CA5N" ParameterName="TABLENAME"/> ParameterValue="XML" ParameterName="RESULTFORMAT"/> ParameterValue="REGIONALINCOME" ParameterName="DATASETNAME"/> ParameterValue="01001" ParameterName="GEOFIPS"/> ParameterValue="GETPARAMETERVALUESFILTERED" ParameterName="METHOD"/> Page 9 of 14 October 11, 2017 Data Retrieval API Method The API has one method for retrieving data – G e t Dat a . Every data retrieval request requires the UserID, Method, and DatasetName parameters. Each dataset has a defined set of parameters – some required and others optional. Each dataset returns different results that are documented in appendices to this document. G e t Dat a Required Parameters: UserID, Method, DatasetName, additional required parameters (depending on the dataset) Optional Parameters: ResultFormat, additional optional parameters (depending on the dataset) Result: Dimensions nodes with attributes: • Ordinal – ordinal number indicating a standardized order of returned dimensions – note that attributes in returned data are not guaranteed to be in any particular order. Programmatic usage of attributes should refer to them by name. • Name – The Name of each data dimension returned • DataType – string or numeric – whether the data dimension is purely numeric or should be treated as string data Page 10 of 14 October 11, 2017 • IsValue – most datasets have one dimension that represents the statistic of interest, and the other dimensions are descriptive of the statistic. IsValue = 1 for the data dimension that is the statistic of interest, otherwise 0. The statistic of interest is usually numeric so that it can be summarized or aggregated based on the descriptive dimension values. Each Dataset contains different dimensions. There are a few pre-defined dimensions that are common to most Datasets, including: • • CL_UNIT – a descriptor of the units reported for the data value (e. g. USD for U. S. dollars, and PC for percent) UNIT_MULT – a descriptor of the multiplier that applies to the data value. This value is the base10 exponent that should be applied to the data value (e. g. amounts reported in millions would have a UNIT_MULT of 6; amounts reported in billions would have a UNIT_MULT of 9). The specific meaning of each dimension is described in the Appendix for each dataset. The result then includes Data nodes containing the actual results specified in the parameters. Each Data node contains one attribute for each data dimension (specified in the Dimensions nodes). Finally, the result may include Note nodes. Notes (as in footnotes) further describe or qualify any of the other nodes in the result (or the result node itself). A result node qualified by a Note has an attribute named NoteRef. If a result node includes the NoteRef attribute, the value for it will always be present among the Notes nodes. Example Request 1: https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetData&datasetname=RegionalIncome&TableName=CA1&LineCode=3&GeoFIPS=DE& Year=2014&ResultFormat=XML& In this example, the GetData method is used to return a result from the dataset named RegionalIncome. The TableId and LineCode parameters are used to request statistic for “Per Capita personal income (county annual income)”. The GeoFIPS parameter value is “DE” – meaning the data for all counties in Delaware are requested. A single year’s data is requested – 2015. Note that the GeoFIPS parameter could have been “COUNTY” for all counties, or a list of individual state or county GeoFIPS codes. Also, multiple years could have been requested by providing them in a commaseparated list, or the special year parameters “LAST5” or “LAST10” could be used. Example Return 1: In this example the Result node contains a NoteRef attribute having the value “2”, and there is a Notes node having the NoteRef value of “2”. This should be interpreted as meaning that the NoteText attribute for that Notes node applies to the whole result. Example Request 2: https://www.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetData&datasetname=RegionalIncome&TableName=SA1&GeoFIPS=STATE &LineCode=3&Year=2013&ResultFormat=XML& In this example, the GetData method is used to return the dataset named RegionalIncome. The TableName and LineCode parameters are used to request statistic for “Per capita personal income (dollars)” – as shown in the result of the first GetParameterValuesFiltered example above. The GeoFIPS parameter value is “STATE” – meaning the data for all states is requested. Finally, a single year’s data is requested – 2013. Note that the GeoFIPS parameter could have been a list of 5-digit geographic codes. Also, multiple years could have been requested by providing them in a comma-separated list. Example Return 2: Page 11 of 14 October 11, 2017 In this example the Result node contains a NoteRef attribute having the value “2”, and there is a Notes node having the NoteRef value of “2”. This should be interpreted as meaning that the NoteText attribute for that Notes node applies to the whole result. There are two Data nodes having a NoteRef attribute with the value “*”, and there is one Notes nodes having the matching NoteRef attribute (“*”). This should be interpreted to mean that the Notes node having NoteRef = “*” apply as a group to the corresponding Data nodes. DataSet Documentation BEA expects to publish several API Datasets containing a variety of economic statistics. The Datasets that are currently available are each documented separately as appendices here. Page 14 of 14 October 11, 2017 Appendix A – RegionalData (DEPRECATED) The RegionalData data set is obsolete and API calls using this data set will no longer function. Users should instead access the datasets RegionalIncome and RegionalProduct, which provide comprehensive detail in statistics, industries, geography, and years. See Appendices I and J for instructions on how to use these two data sets. Appendix B – NIPA (National Income and Product Accounts) The DataSetName is NIPA. This dataset contains data from the National Income and Product Accounts which include measures of the value and composition of U.S.production and the incomes generated in producing it. NIPA data is provided on a table basis; individual tables contain between fewer than 10 to more than 200 distinct data series. Four parameters are used to retrieve data from the NIPA dataset, as follows: Name Type Description Is Required Multiple Values Accepted No No “All” value TableName String The standard NIPA table identifier TableID Integer Database identifier; will be deprecated in December 2017 No No N/A Frequency String List of frequencies to retrieve Yes Yes N/A Year String List of year(s) of data to retrieve Yes Yes X ALL ShowMillions N/A Discontinued; see detailed note below Example calls Percent change in Real Gross Domestic Product, Annually and Quarterly for all years https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36Character-Key&method=GetData&DataSetName= NIPA&TableName=T10101&Frequency=A,Q&Year=ALL&ResultFormat=xml Personal Income, Monthly, for 2015 and 2016 https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36Character-Key&method=GetData&DataSetName= NIPA&TableName=T20600&Frequency=M&Year=2015,2016&ResultFormat=xml API Call [GETPARAMETERVALUES] to Obtain a List of Available Values & Descriptions for Each Parameter [Details of each are described in the section below. ] Parameter Name Parameter Value List https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36Character- TableName Key&method=GetParameterValues&DataSetName=NIPA&ParameterName= TableName&ResultFormat=xml https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetParameterValues&DataSetName=NIPA&ParameterName= TableId&ResultFormat=xml https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36CharacterFrequency Key&method=GetParameterValues&DataSetName=NIPA&ParameterName= Frequency&ResultFormat=xml TableId Year https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetParameterValues&DataSetName=NIPA&ParameterName= Year&ResultFormat=xml TableName Parameter – optional (will be required, December 2017) The TableName parameter is a string that identifies a specific NIPA table. Only one NIPA table can be requested in each data request. Requests with an invalid combination of TableName, Frequency or Year values will result in an error. Either the TableName or TableID parameter must be passed or an error will result. NOTE: This parameter is newly introduced in October 2017 and will replace the TableID parameter. Both the TableName and TableID parameter are optional; if the TableName and TableID values do not reference the same table, an error will be returned. TableID Parameter – optional (will be discontinued, December 2017) The TableID parameter is an integer that also refers to a specific NIPA table. Only one NIPA table can be requested in each data request. Either the TableName or TableID parameter must be passed or an error will result. NOTE: This parameter will be discontinued in December 2017. Any request including the TableID will include a note in the response providing the TableName parameter value to perform that request once TableID is discontinued. Both the TableName and TableID parameter are optional; if the TableName and TableID values do not reference the same table, an error will be returned. Frequency Parameter – (required, multiple values allowed) The Frequency parameter is a string that refers to the time series for the requested NIPA table. Multiple frequencies are requested by specifying them as a comma-delimited string, e. g. “A,Q,M”. When data is requested for frequencies that are not available for the requested NIPA table, only data that is available is returned; if no data is available for the requested frequencies, an error will be returned. When calling the GetParameterValues method and passing a TableName value the response will identify the valid frequencies for that table. Accepted parameter values are: 1. A – Annual 2. Q – Quarterly 3. M – Monthly Year Parameter – (required, multiple values allowed) The Year parameter specifies the year(s) of the data requested. When quarterly or monthly data are requested all available quarters for the specified year(s) will be returned. Multiple years are requested by specifying them as a comma-delimited string, e. g. “2000,2001,2002”. If the request supplies the special value X or ALL for the Year parameter, all available years of data for that NIPA table returned. Note that using the X or ALL value for all years can return large amounts of data, and should be avoided when the actual required years are known. When data is requested for years that are not available for the requested NIPA table, only data that is available is returned; if no data is available for the requested year(s), an error will be returned. When calling the GetParameterValues method and passing a TableName value the response will identify the valid years for that table. ShowMillions Parameter – (discontinued; October 2017) The ShowMillions parameter is discontinued. In its place the data response’s MULT_UNIT field now returns the scaling of each observation. Please consult the MULT_UNIT field description, below, for further details. NIPA Dataset Result Data NIPA (National Income and Product Accounts) Dimensions Elements in Return Data Parameter Name TableName TableId SeriesCode LineNumber LineDescription TimePeriod Ordinal Datatype IsValue 1 String 2 String No String No 4 String No 5 String No A description of the transactions measured in the data item.

Integer identifier for the NIPA table requested. A unique identifier for the time series of the data item. Sequence of the data item within the table. String indicating the measurement of the data item. Example values are Current Dollars, Fisher Price Index, etc. The calculation type of the data item. 9 UNIT_MULT DataValue 10 String No An integer representing the base-10 exponent of the multiplier used to interpret the data value. For example “6” refers to millions (DataValue × 106). Numeric Yes Value of the data item, formatted with commas. A NoteRef attribute is also included in all data elements and acts as a reference to one of the Notes elements in the returned data. The NoteRef attribute may have multiple values represented by a comma-delimited string. Any NoteRef attribute included in the data is guaranteed to have a corresponding Notes element. For the NIPA dataset, every data element includes at least one Noteref that corresponds to a Note element containing the title of the table. Additional Information Explanation of the estimates can be found in the National section of our website: https://bea.gov/national/. Please consult the schedule of releases which impacts data and table availability. Updates and changes to the accounts are detailed at: https://www.bea.gov/national/an1.htm. National Income and Product Account Methodologies can be found in our handbook. Appendix C – NIPA Underlying Detail (National Income and Product Accounts) The DataSetName is NIUnderlyingDetail. This dataset contains underlying detail data from the National Income and Product Accounts which include measures of the value and composition of U.S.production and the incomes generated in producing it. NIPA Underlying Detail data is provided on a table basis; individual tables contain between fewer than 10 to more than 200 distinct data series. Four parameters are used to retrieve data from the NIPA Underlying Detail dataset, as follows: Name Type Description Is Required Multiple Values Accepted No No “All” value TableName String The standard NIPA table identifier TableID Integer Database identifier; will be deprecated in December 2017 No No N/A Frequency String List of frequencies to retrieve Yes Yes N/A Year String List of year(s) of data to retrieve Yes Yes X ALL N/A Example calls Personal Conumption Expenditures, Current Dollars, Annually, Quarterly and Monthly for all years https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36Character-Key&method=GetData&DataSetName= NIUnderlyingDetail&TableName=U20305&Frequency=A,Q,M&Year=ALL&ResultFormat=xml Auto and Truck Unit Sales, Production, Inventories, Expenditures and Price, Monthly, for 2015 and 2016 https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36Character-Key&method=GetData&DataSetName= NIUnderlyingDetail &TableName=U70205S&Frequency=M&Year=2015,2016&ResultFormat=xml API Call [GETPARAMETERVALUES] to Obtain a List of Available Values & Descriptions for Each Parameter [Details of each are described in the section below. ] Parameter Name Parameter Value List https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36CharacterTableName Key&method=GetParameterValues&DataSetName=NIUnderlyingDetail&ParameterName= TableName&ResultFormat=xml TableId https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36Character- Key&method=GetParameterValues& DataSetName=NIUnderlyingDetail&ParameterName= TableId&ResultFormat=xml https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36Character- Key&method=GetParameterValues& Frequency DataSetName=NIUnderlyingDetail&ParameterName= Frequency&ResultFormat=xml Year https://www.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36CharacterKey&method=GetParameterValues& DataSetName=NIUnderlyingDetail&ParameterName= Year&ResultFormat=xml TableName Parameter – optional (will be required, December 2017) The TableName parameter is a string that identifies a specific NIPA Underlying Detail table. Only one NIPA Underlying Detail table can be requested in each data request. Requests with an invalid combination of TableName, Frequency or Year values will result in an error. Either the TableName or TableID parameter must be passed or an error will result. NOTE: This parameter is newly introduced in October 2017 and will replace the TableID parameter. Both the TableName and TableID parameter are optional; if the TableName and TableID values do not reference the same table, an error will be returned. TableID Parameter – optional (will be discontinued, December 2017) The TableID parameter is an integer that also refers to a specific NIPA Underlying Detail table. Only one NIPA Underlying Detail table can be requested in each data request. Either the TableName or TableID parameter must be passed or an error will result. NOTE: This parameter will be discontinued in December 2017. Any request including the TableID will include a note in the response providing the TableName parameter value to perform that request once TableID is discontinued. Both the TableName and TableID parameter are optional; if the TableName and TableID values do not reference the same table, an error will be returned. Frequency Parameter – (required, multiple values allowed) The Frequency parameter is a string that refers to the time series for the requested NIPA Underlying Detail table. Multiple frequencies are requested by specifying them as a comma-delimited string, e. g. “A,Q,M”. When data is requested for frequencies that are not available for the requested NIPA Underlying Detail table, only data that is available is returned; if no data is available for the requested frequencies, an error will be returned. When calling the GetParameterValues method and passing a TableName value the response will identify the valid frequencies for that table. Accepted parameter values are: 1. A – Annual 2. Q – Quarterly 3. M – Monthly Year Parameter – (required, multiple values allowed) The Year parameter specifies the year(s) of the data requested. When quarterly or monthly data are requested all available quarters for the specified year(s) will be returned. Multiple years are requested by specifying them as a comma-delimited string, e. g. “2000,2001,2002”. If the request supplies the special value X or ALL for the Year parameter, all available years of data for that NIPA Underlying Detail table are returned. Note that using the X or ALL value for all years can return large amounts of data, and should be avoided when the actual required years are known. When data is requested for years that are not available for the requested NIPA Underlying Detail table, only data that is available is returned; if no data is available for the requested year(s), an error will be returned. When calling the GetParameterValues method and passing a TableName value the response will identify the valid years for that table.

National Income and Product Account Methodologies can be found in our handbook. Appendix D – Fixed Assets The FixedAssets dataset contains data from the standard set of Fixed Assets tables as published online. Two parameters are used to retrieve data from the Fixed Assets dataset, as follows: Name Type Description Is Required Multiple “All” value Values Accepted TableID Integer The standard Fixed Yes No N/A Assets table identifier Year integer List of year(s) of Yes Yes X ALL TableID Parameter The TableID parameter is an integer that refers to a specific Fixed Assets table. As shown above, the parameter is required, and only one Fixed Assets table can be requested in each GetData submission. The full list of valid Fixed Assets TableIDs is as follows: Page 12 of 14 October 11, 2017 Page 13 of 14 October 11, 2017 Appendix D: Page 1 of 7 October 11, 2017 Note that the description of each table also indicates that only annual data is available. Requesting an invalid TableID returns this error: Omitting the TableID parameter returns this error: Appendix D: Page 2 of 7 October 11, 2017 Year Parameter The Year parameter is an integer that specifies the year(s) of data for the requested Fixed Assets table. As shown above, the parameter is required, and multiple years can be requested in each GetData submission. Multiple years are requested by specifying them as a comma-delimited string, e. g. “2000,2001,2002”. When data is requested for years that don’t exist for a particular Fixed Assets table, only data that exists is returned. For example, if years in the future are requested – like “2013,2014,2015”, the most recent available data is returned starting with 2013. If the request supplies the special value X or ALL for the Year parameter, all available years of data are returned. Note that using the X or ALL value for all years can return large amounts of data, and should be avoided when the actual required years are known. If only years that don’t exist for a particular table are requested, this error is returned: Omitting the Year parameter returns this error: Using the GetParameterValues meta-data retrieval method for the Year parameter returns a list of the valid year ranges for each Fixed Assets table. Each Fixed Assets table may have a different range of years. For example, Table 1 (at the time of this writing) has annual data from 1925 through 2012 available as indicated in this example return data from the GetParameterValues method: Appendix D: Page 3 of 7 October 11, 2017 Appendix D: Page 4 of 7 October 11, 2017 Fixed Assets Dataset Result Data The Fixed Assets dataset returns data in the standard form described in the API User documentation. In XML form, the main structure of a result is: The Request node of the result contains the parameters supplied to the request. For purposes of this example, the parameters are: The result returned from this request would be: Appendix D: Page 5 of 7 October 11, 2017 All requests for the Fixed Assets dataset will return similar results, including the elements that describe the dimensions, data, and footnotes (Dimensions, Data, and Notes). Dimensions Elements The dimensions included in the returned data are: Ordinal 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Name TableID SeriesCode LineNumber LineDescription TimePeriod CL_UNIT UNIT_MULT DataValue NoteRef 6 Datatype numeric string numeric No string string numeric numeric string IsValue No No No No No No No Yes No Within the set of “Data” elements returned in the result, each of the dimensions is represented as an attribute (name/value pair). All the dimensions (attributes) have a single value, except the Noteref dimension, which can have multiple values represented as a comma-delimited string. The dimensions (attributes) are defined as follows: TableID – The standard Fixed Assets table ID as submitted in the request (an integer). SeriesCode – A string containing the a unique identifier for the line item in the published Fixed Assets table. LineNumber – The line number of the data item as shown in published print versions of the published Fixed Assets table. LineDescription – The “stub” or description of the statistic in the published Fixed Assets table. TimePeriod – A string containing the time period for the data item in the form YYYY for annual data. CL_UNIT – A string containing “USD” when the reported statistic is in U. S. dollars, or “PC” when the reported statistic is a percent, index, or contribution. UNIT_MULT – An integer representing the base-10 exponent of the multiplier used to interpret the data value. For example “6” refers to millions (DataValue X 106) and “9” refers to billions (DataValue X 109). 6 The Noteref attribute included in the data is not shown as one of the dimension elements. Noterefs may appear as an attribute of any element in the result data (except other Noterefs), and refer to a particular NoteRef element. Appendix D: Page 6 of 7 October 11, 2017 DataValue – An integer or decimal value of the statistic. Always a numeric value, but may contain embedded commas. NoteRef – a reference to one of the Notes elements. Noteref in a data element always corresponds to the Noteref in a Notes element. The Noteref attribute may have multiple values represented by a comma-delimited string. This attribute can appear in any data element, or in the Results element. Any Noteref attribute included in the data is guaranteed to have a corresponding Notes element. For the Fixed Assets dataset, every data element includes at least one Noteref that corresponds to a Note element containing the title of the table. Additional footnote references that apply to specific lines may be included in the comma-delimited Noteref string value.
