Hi Celine,

 

I saw your post yesterday, and was curious about the possibilities.  DOMO has rolled out capabilities for building your own API connectors, something I was just introduced to yesterday in a call.   Check out https://developer.domo.com/; Build Your Own Custom Connector.  I also checked out the Census Bureau website and found that they do provide info to help you get connected.  I looked at the Decennial census page here, and it provides information on how to make the API Call.  There are lots of other pages and datasets though, so that might not be the right one for your needs.

 

The aforementioned Domo for Developers page also provides a sample walkthrough for a connector that was built for some USGS data.  Looks like all of the pieces are there for a technical-user to be able to follow.

 

Good luck!

Celine,

 

We actually do have a connector built by Domo for Census data.  It not readily available because it is pretty complex and hasn't had wide use yet, but you could work with your account manager to get access to it.

 

The other option of building your own is also definitely an option as well.

 

Thanks,
