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 . To register, API users must

provide their name (or organization name), a valid email address (see note #1 below) 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 URI 0F

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:

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

1

Uniform Resource Identifier

1. To prevent abuse, BEA does not permit users to register for an API key with a disposable email

address.

2. In mid-2018, BEA restructured its website and created a new subdomain, apps.bea.gov, to host all

dynamic, database-driven web applications referenced from the primary domain, www.bea.gov.

While API registration and documentation links remain on the primary domain, the URI for the API is

accessed on the apps.bea.gov subdomain, as shown below.

NOTES:

datasets, parameters, and valid parameter values. There is one method that returns data.

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:

http://apps.bea.gov/api/data/?UserID=Your-36Character Key&method=GetData&datasetname=Regional&TableName=CAINC4&LineCode=30&GeoFIPS=COUNTY

&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:

http://apps.bea.gov/api/data?UserID=Your-36Character Key&method=GETDATASETLIST&ResultFormat=XML

This request would return a list of the available datasets in JSON format:

http://apps.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36Character Key&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:

<BEAAPI> <Request>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="GETDATASETLIST" ParameterName="METHOD"/>

<RequestParam ParameterValue=" Your-36Character-Key" ParameterName="USERID"/> <RequestParam ParameterValue="XML" ParameterName="RESULTFORMAT"/>

</Request>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="Standard NIPA tables" DatasetName="NIPA"/>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="Standard NI underlying detail tables" DatasetName="NIUnderlyingDetail"/>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="Multinational Enterprises" DatasetName="MNE"/> <Dataset DatasetDescription="Standard Fixed Assets tables" DatasetName="FixedAssets"/> <Dataset DatasetDescription="International Transactions Accounts" DatasetName="ITA"/> <Dataset DatasetDescription="International Investment Position" DatasetName="IIP"/>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="GDP by Industry" DatasetName="GDPbyIndustry"/> <Dataset DatasetDescription="Regional data sets" DatasetName="Regional"/>

</Results> </BEAAPI>

In XML form, the root node is always <BEAAPI>, followed by the child node <Request>. The <Request> node

contains <RequestParam> children that echo the parameters passed in the request. The root node, <BEAAPI>,

then has another child node, <Results>, 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):

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:

<BEAAPI> <Request> <RequestParam ParameterName="USERID" ParameterValue="Your-36Character-Key" />

<RequestParam ParameterName="METHOD" ParameterValue="GETDATASETLIST" /> <RequestParam ParameterName="ResultFormat" ParameterValue="XML" />

</Request>

<Results> <Error APIErrorCode="3" APIErrorDescription="The BEA API UserID provided in the request does not exist. " />

</Results> </BEAAPI>

API Calling Limits (rate limiting)

The BEA API implements a throttling (rate limiting) mechanism to protect our servers from resource contention,

and to promote a fair opportunity for all users to share resources and retrieve data.

Here’s how the throttling mechanism works:

There are three standard limits applied for all API user accounts:

• Number of requests per minute (100), and or

• Data volume retrieved per minute (100 MB), and/or

• Errors per minute (30)

When any of these limits are exceeded by an API user in the previous minute, that user will receive an error for

any additional requests for a time-out period of one hour.

NOTE:

These limits have periodically been adjusted since the API’s inception and will continue to be

evaluated and adjusted as needed to protect BEA’s API and webserver infrastructure from extreme

and/or abusive activity that may be detrimental to our infrastructure and/or unfairly impede other

API users.

Example Error Response in XML Format:

<BEAAPI>

<Request>

...

</Request>

<Results>

<Error APIErrorCode="1" APIErrorDescription="Request Denied - exceeded Volume per minute

quota."/>

</Results>

</BEAAPI>

Page 5 of 15 November 12, 2024

In addition, each throttling error response will return an HTTP 429 (too many requests) status code and include

a RETRY-AFTER header indicating how long to wait (in seconds) before making a new request.

If you make any subsequent API requests during the time-out period, the HTTP 429 response header will

decrement the RETRY-AFTER value until the time-out period is over, based on the starting timestamp.

Here are some techniques to minimize or eliminate throttling while using the BEA API:

1. Be informed about published release schedules (https://www.bea.gov/news/schedule). The API data in

different datasets is typically published according to schedules that provide monthly data updates (with

some exceptions). The release of all updated API data is on the same release schedule as other published

sources of BEA data (e.g. Interactive Tables). Automating API retrievals to obtain data that has not been

updated is discouraged.

2. Monitor the number of requests and volume of data received by your program. By tracking the actual

number of requests submitted, and the actual volume of data received, and pausing request activity when

the stated throttling limits are approached, you can eliminate all throttling.

3. Include logic in your client software to recognize when a throttling error is received (based on the HTTP

429 status code, and HTTP RETRY-AFTER header). If a throttling event occurs, pause retrieval activity

for the throttle timeout period (1 hour / 3600 seconds) before attempting additional requests. Responding

to requests that are throttled requires bandwidth and server resources that contribute to our need for

throttling.

4. Develop single-threaded client programs that wait for a result before submitting a new request. While

multi-threaded asynchronous requests are allowed, our throttling limits are tuned such that no single

request would trigger throttling, and (serial) single-threaded requests would rarely trigger throttling.

5. Do not overuse the special values “ALL” or “X”. Depending on the dataset, some parameters (e.g.,

YEAR) permit the “ALL” or “X” special value to fetch all data for that given parameter. This can yield

extraordinarily large data results, which take longer to prepare and can tax the backend databases.

Limiting the use of the “ALL” or “X” special value to just one parameter is an effective method to

regulate the size of API result volume.

Meta-Data API Methods

The API contains three methods for retrieving meta-data as follows:

G et D at a S et Li st – retrieves a list of the datasets currently

HTTP/1.1 429 Requests

Transfer-Encoding: chunked

Content-Type: application/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1

Age: 0

Retry-After: 3600

offered. Required Parameters: UserID, Method

Optional Parameters: ResultFormat

Result: Dataset node with DatasetName and DatasetDescription

attributes. Example Request:

http://apps.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-

36Character Key&method=GETDATASETLIST&ResultFormat=XML

&ResultFormat=XML&

Example Return:

<BEAAPI> <Request>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="GETDATASETLIST" ParameterName="METHOD"/>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="Your-36Character-Key" ParameterName="USERID"/>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="XML" ParameterName="RESULTFORMAT"/>

</Request>

<Results>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="Standard NIPA tables" DatasetName="NIPA"/>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="Standard NI underlying detail tables" DatasetName="NIUnderlyingDetail"/>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="Multinational Enterprises" DatasetName="MNE"/> <Dataset DatasetDescription="Regional data sets" DatasetName="Regional"/>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="Standard Fixed Assets tables" DatasetName="FixedAssets"/> <Dataset DatasetDescription="International Transactions Accounts" DatasetName="ITA"/> <Dataset DatasetDescription="International Investment Position" DatasetName="IIP"/>

<Dataset DatasetDescription="GDP by Industry" DatasetName="GDPbyIndustry"/>

</Results>

</BEAAPI>

The RegionalData, RegionalIncome, and RegionalProduct data sets are obsolete and API calls using

these data sets will no longer function. Users should instead access the dataset Regional, which

provides comprehensive detail in statistics, industries, geography, and years. See Appendix N for

instructions on how to use the Regional data set. 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://apps.bea.gov/developers), we also encourage users to periodically call the above

GETDATASETLIST discover new datasets.

G et P a ra m et er Li 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

Page 7 of 15 November 12, 2024

them individually.

Example Request 1:

https://apps.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36Character Key&method=getparameterlist&datasetname=Regional&ResultFormat=XML

Example Return 1:

<BEAAPI>

<Request>

<RequestParam ParameterName="USERID" ParameterValue="Your-36Character-Key" />

<RequestParam ParameterName="METHOD" ParameterValue="GetParameterList" />

<RequestParam ParameterName="DatasetName" ParameterValue="Regional" />

<RequestParam ParameterName="ResultFormat" ParameterValue="XML" />

</Request>

<Results>

<Parameter ParameterName="GeoFips" MultipleAcceptedFlag="1" ParameterIsRequiredFlag="1"

ParameterDataType="string" ParameterDescription="Comma-delimited list of 5-character geographic codes;

COUNTY for all counties, STATE for all states, MSA for all MSAs, MIC for all Micropolitan Areas, PORT for

all state metro/nonmetro portions, DIV for all Metropolitan Divisions, CSA for all Combined Statistical

Areas, state post office abbreviation for all counties in one state (e.g. NY)" />

<Parameter ParameterName="TableName" MultipleAcceptedFlag="0" ParameterIsRequiredFlag="1" ParameterDataType="string"

ParameterDescription="Income or employment table to retrieve" />

<Parameter ParameterName="LineCode" MultipleAcceptedFlag="0" ParameterIsRequiredFlag="1" ParameterDataType="integer"

ParameterDescription="Line code for a statistic or industry"/>

<Parameter ParameterName="Year" MultipleAcceptedFlag="1" ParameterIsRequiredFlag="0" ParameterDescription="Comma-delimted

list of years; LAST5 for latest 5 years; LAST10 for latest 10 years; ALL for all years" ParameterDefaultValue="LAST5"

ParameterDataType="string" />

</Results>

</BEAAPI>

In this example, the parameters for the “Regional” 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.

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://apps.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36Character-Key&method=getparameterlist&datasetname=

IntlServTrade&ResultFormat=XML

Example Return 2:

<BEAAPI> <Request>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="XML" ParameterName="RESULTFORMAT"/>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="Your-36Character-Key" ParameterName="USERID"/>

Page 8 of 15 November 12, 2024

<RequestParam ParameterValue="INTLSERVTRADE" ParameterName="DATASETNAME"/>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="GETPARAMETERLIST" ParameterName="METHOD"/>

</Request>

<Results> <Parameter ParameterName="TypeOfService" AllValue="ALL" MultipleAcceptedFlag="1" ParameterDefaultValue="ALL"

ParameterIsRequiredFlag="0" ParameterDescription="The type of service requested" ParameterDataType="string"/>

<Parameter ParameterName="TradeDirection" AllValue="ALL" MultipleAcceptedFlag="1" ParameterDefaultValue="ALL"

ParameterIsRequiredFlag="0" ParameterDescription="The type of trade direction requested"

ParameterDataType="string"/>

<Parameter ParameterName="Affiliation" AllValue="ALL" MultipleAcceptedFlag="1" ParameterDefaultValue="ALL"

ParameterIsRequiredFlag="0" ParameterDescription="The affiliation requested" ParameterDataType="string"/> <Parameter ParameterName="AreaOrCountry" AllValue="ALL" MultipleAcceptedFlag="1" ParameterDefaultValue="AllCountries"

ParameterIsRequiredFlag="0" ParameterDescription="The area or country requested" ParameterDataType="string"/> <Parameter ParameterName="Year" AllValue="ALL" MultipleAcceptedFlag="1" ParameterDefaultValue="ALL"

ParameterIsRequiredFlag="0" ParameterDescription="The year requested" ParameterDataType="string"/>

</Results>

</BEAAPI>

In this example, the parameters for the “IntlServTrade” dataset are being requested. The results indicate that

the dataset has five parameters: TypeOfService, TradeDirection, Affiliation, AreaOrCountry, and Year.

TypeOfService is a string typed parameter described as the type of service. It is not required. Multiple values

are accepted, and there is a value to select all types of service, “All”.

The other parameters have characteristics like the first. To get more information about the parameters,

“GetParameterValues” should be used.

G et P a ra m et erV alu es – retrieves a list of the valid values for a particular

parameter. 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).

</BEAAPI>

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 method called

GetParameterValuesFiltered.

GetParameterValuesFiltered – retrieves a list of the valid values for a particular parameter based on

other provided parameters.

In our example above with the Regional 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:

http://apps.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36Character Key&method=GetParameterValuesFiltered&datasetname=Regional&TargetParameter=LineCode&TableN

ame=SAINC1&ResultFormat=XML

Example return:

<BEAAPI> <Request>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="Your-36Character-Key" ParameterName="USERID"/> <RequestParam ParameterValue="XML" ParameterName="RESULTFORMAT"/>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="LINECODE" ParameterName="TARGETPARAMETER"/>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="SAINC1" ParameterName="TABLENAME"/> <RequestParam ParameterValue="REGIONAL" ParameterName="DATASETNAME"/>

<RequestParam ParameterValue="GETPARAMETERVALUESFILTERED" ParameterName="METHOD"/> </Request> <Results>

<ParamValue Desc="[SAINC1] Personal income (millions of dollars)" Key="1"/> <ParamValue Desc="[SAINC1] Population (persons)" Key="2"/> <ParamValue Desc="[SAINC1] Per capita personal income (dollars)" Key="3"/>

</Results> </BEAAPI>

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:

http://apps.bea.gov/api/data/?UserID=Your-36Character Key&method=GetParameterValuesFiltered&datasetname=Regional&TargetParameter=Year&TableName

=CAINC5N&GeoFips=01001&ResultFormat=XML

There are many more examples of using GetParameterValuesFiltered in the Regional appendix N.

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--

Data Retrieval API

Method

The API has one method for retrieving data – GetData.

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.

GetData

Required Parameters: UserID, Method, DatasetName, additional required parameters (depending on

the dataset)

Optional Parameters: ResultFormat, additional optional parameters (depending on the dataset)

Page 12 of 15 November 12, 2024

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

• 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 base-

10 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://apps.bea.gov/api/data/?&UserID=Your-36Character Key&method=GetData&datasetname=Regional&TableName=CAINC1&LineCode=3&GeoFIPS=DE&Yea

r=2014&ResultFormat=XML

In this example, the GetData method is used to return a result from the dataset named Regional. 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 – 2014.

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 comma separated list, or the special year parameters “LAST5” or “LAST10” could be used.

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:

http://apps.bea.gov/api/data?&UserID=Your-36Character Key&method=GetData&datasetname=Regional&TableName=SAINC1&GeoFIPS=STATE&LineCode=3&

Year=2013&ResultFormat=XML

In this example, the GetData method is used to return the dataset named Regional. 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.

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.

Appendix A – RegionalData (DEPRECATED)

The RegionalData dataset is obsolete and API calls using this dataset will no longer function. Users

should instead access the dataset Regional, which provides comprehensive detail in statistics, industries,

geography, and years. See Appendix N for instructions on how to use the Regional dataset.

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. Three parameters are used to retrieve data from the NIPA dataset, as follows:

Name Type Description Is Required Multiple

Values

Accepted

“All” value

TableName String The standard NIPA

table identifier

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

TableName Parameter – (required)

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. The TableName parameter must be passed or an error will result.

TableID Parameter – (discontinued; February 2018)

The TableID parameter is discontinued. The TableName parameter replaces the TableId parameter. A

crosswalk between TableId and TableName values can be found in the appendix to this document.

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.

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

“All” value

TableName String The standard NIPA

table identifier

No No N/A

TableName Parameter – (required)

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. The TableName must be passed or an error will

result.

TableID Parameter – (discontinued; February 2018)

The TableID parameter is discontinued. The TableName parameter replaces the TableId parameter. A

crosswalk between TableId and TableName values can be found in the appendix to this document.

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 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.

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.

TableName Parameter – (required)

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 and Year values will result in an error.

The TableName parameter must be passed or an error will result.

TableID Parameter – (discontinued; October 2018)

The TableID parameter is discontinued. The TableName parameter replaces the TableId parameter. A crosswalk

between TableId and TableName values can be found in the appendix to this document.

Year Parameter – (required, multiple values allowed)

The Year parameter specifies the year(s) of the data requested. 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.

Appendix E – Data on Direct Investment and Multinational Enterprises (MNEs)

The DataSetName is MNE. This dataset contains two types of statistics:

1. Direct Investment (DI)—income and financial transactions in direct investment that underlie the U. S.

balance of payments statistics, and direct investment positions that underlie the U. S. international

investment positions; and

2. Activities of Multinational Enterprises (AMNE)—operations and finances of U. S. parent enterprises

and their foreign affiliates and U. S. affiliates of foreign MNEs.

API requests for the two types of statistics share most of the same parameters, though the allowable values for

each parameter may be different, depending on the type of statistic desired (e. g. , DI or AMNE).

Parameter Details

TableID Parameter – (Required, multiple values accepted, no default value, ‘ALL’ for all tables)

• The TableID parameter is a unique table identifier. This parameter is required to query data and does

accept multiple comma separated values. If all tables are required, use the ‘ALL’ keyword.

• All tables are published annually, but only a subset are published quarterly. The Descr in the

GetParameterValues result will contain (A) if the table is published annually and (Q) indicating that the

table is also published quarterly.

Frequency Parameter – (Required, multiple values accepted, no default value, ‘A,Q’ for all frequencies)

• The Frequency parameter indicates whether annual or quarterly data are to be returned. This parameter is

required to query data and does accept multiple comma separated values.

• All tables are published annually (Frequency = A) but only a subset are published quarterly (Frequency =

Q)

• If a data request is submitted for both annual and quarterly data from a table that is only published

annually then only the annual data will be returned.

• If a data request is submitted for quarterly data from a table that is only published annually then the user

will receive the following error:

<Error APIErrorCode="204" APIErrorDescription="Error retrieving GDP by Industry data. ">

<ErrorDetail Description="This TableID is not published quarterly: 25" />

</Error>

Year Parameter – (Required, multiple values accepted, no default value, ’ALL‘ for all years)

• The Year parameter indicates what periods of data are requested. This parameter is required to query data

and does accept multiple comma separated values. Use the keyword ‘ALL’ to return all periods of data.

• If requesting quarterly frequency data, all available quarters for a year will be returned.

• Annual data publications begin in 1997 for most tables and 1998 for percent change and contributions

tables. Quarterly data began publication in 2005.

Appendix F: Page 3 of 3 June 8, 2018

• If a data request is submitted for quarterly or annual data before the earliest estimate period the user

will receive one of the following errors:

<Error APIErrorCode="204" APIErrorDescription="Error retrieving GDP by Industry data. ">

<ErrorDetail Description="Quarterly data begin in 2005. Invalid year: 1997" />

</Error>

<Error APIErrorCode="204" APIErrorDescription="Error retrieving GDP by Industry data. ">

<ErrorDetail Description="Annual data begin in 1997 and quarterly data begins in

2005. Invalid year: 1996" />

</Error>

Industry Parameter – (Required, multiple values accepted, no default value, ‘ALL‘ for all industries)

• The Industry parameter indicates what periods of data are requested. This parameter is required to

query data and does accept multiple comma separated values. Use the keyword ‘ALL’ to return all

industries.

• All industries are published annually, but only a subset are published quarterly. The Descr in the

GetParameterValuesresult will contain (A) if the industry is published annually and (Q) indicating

that the industry is also published quarterly.

• If a data request is submitted for an industry that is not published in the requested tables the user

will receive the following error:

<Error APIErrorCode="204" APIErrorDescription="Error retrieving GDP by Industry data. ">

<ErrorDetail Description="Invalid industry: 111CA" />

</Error>

General Use

• Data will be returned for all data cells that fit the requested criteria. If the request contains parameter

values requesting data for which only part of a set is available, only the data matching the criteria will

be returned. For example, requesting ALL TableIDs for 1997 will return only annual data because the

quarterly publications begin in estimate year 2005. Blanks will not be returned for missing data.

• If no data fit the selected criteria the user will receive the following error:

<Error APIErrorCode="204" APIErrorDescription="Error retrieving GDP by Industry data. ">

<ErrorDetail Description="No data exist for selected criteria" />

</Error>

Appendix L – Underlying Gross Domestic Product by Industry

(UnderlyingGDPbyIndustry)

The underlying gross domestic product by industry data are contained within a dataset called UnderlyingGDPbyIndustry.

BEA's industry accounts are used extensively by policymakers and businesses to understand industry interactions,

productivity trends, and the changing structure of the U.S. economy. The underlying GDP-by-industry dataset includes data

in both current and chained (real) dollars. The dataset contains estimates for value added, gross output, and intermediate

input statistics. This dataset is structurally similar to the GDPbyIndustry dataset (Appendix F), but contains additional

industry detail.

Please Note: Cautionary Note on use of underlying detail tables -- The Bureau of Economic Analysis does not

include these detailed estimates in the published tables because their quality is significantly less than that of the

higher level aggregates in which they are included.

LineCode parameter – (required, single value)

LineCode corresponds to the statistic in a table. It can either be one value(ie.1,10,11), or ‘ALL’ to retrieve

all the statistics for one GeoFips.

GeoFips parameter – (required, multiple value)

GeoFips specifies geography. It can be all states (STATE), all counties (COUNTY), all Metropolitan

Statistical Areas (MSA), all Micropolitan Statistical Areas (MIC), all Metropolitan Divisions (DIV), all

Combined Statistical Areas (CSA), all metropolitan/nonmetropolitan portions (PORT), U.S Territories

(TERR), or state post office abbreviation for all counties in one state (e.g. NY). It can also be a list of ANSI

state-county codes or metropolitan area codes. For example, the counties in Connecticut and Delaware–

09001,09003,09005,09007,09009,09011,09013,09015,10001,10003,10005.

Only one GeoFips is allowed when LineCode parameter value is ‘ALL’.

State, county, and metropolitan statistical area FIPS codes can be obtained from Census at

https://www.census.gov/geo/www/ansi/ansi.html. A comprehensive list of MSAs and their component

counties can be accessed at https://apps.bea.gov/regional/docs/msalist.cfm.

Year parameter – (optional, multiple value)

Year is either a list of comma delimited years, LAST5, LAST10, or ALL. Year will default to LAST5

years if the parameter is not specified.

Errors

An invalid parameter value will result in an error code of 40, “The dataset requested requires parameters that

were missing from the request” plus a detailed message that explains the invalid value(s) entered.

Examples:

- For Invalid TableName a detailed message with “TableName entered is invalid” will display.

- When two or more parameter values are incompatible a detailed message will display “TableName entered

is incompatible with the entered GeoFips, LineCode and Year”.

- In the case of incompatible entries, the error message will tell the user which parameters are incompatible

and suggestions of the compatible values will be listed.

LineCode corresponds to the statistic in a table. Unlike with the GetData method it can be one value or a list

of comma-delimited LineCodes.

The available LineCodes are queried using the GetParameterValuesFiltered method. For example:

GeoFips parameter

GeoFips specifies geography. It can be all states (STATE), all counties (COUNTY), all Metropolitan

Statistical Areas (MSA), or state post office abbreviation for all counties in one state (e.g. NY). It can also be a

list of ANSI state-county codes or metropolitan area codes. For example, the counties in Connecticut and

Delaware–

09001,09003,09005,09007,09009,09011,09013,09015,10001,10003,10005

State, county, and metropolitan statistical area FIPS codes can be obtained from Census. Year parameter

Year is either a single value, a list of comma-delimited years, or ALL

Errors

An invalid TableName LineCode, GeoFips or Year will result in an error code of 203, “No parameter values

match the filtered list requested” plus a detailed message that explains the invalid value(s) entered.

Examples:

- For Invalid LineCode a detailed message with “LineCode entered is invalid” will display.

- When there are no available GeoFips data for the entered LineCode a detailed message with “Values of

GeoFips and LineCode are incompatible” will display, followed by a suggestion of compatible values.
