CBER Data Grabber
=================

[](#cber-data-grabber)

A set of classes used by the [Ball State University](http://bsu.edu) [Center for Business and Economic Research](http://cberdata.org) [County Profiles](http://profiles.cberdata.org) website for pulling data from US federal data APIs.

Installing via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
---------------------------------------------------

[](#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](http://api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html).

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)

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

```
