## Overview
Python package for loading [Current Population Survey (CPS)](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/about.html) microdata into a [pandas DataFrame](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.html) using the Census Bureau Data API, including [basic monthly CPS](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/cps/cps-basic.html) and [CPS ASEC](https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/cps/cps-asec.html) microdata.
Note: This product uses the Census Bureau Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau.
For an R version of this package, check out [cpsR](https://github.com/matt-saenz/cpsR).
## Setup Instructions
Install the package:
```shell
pip install pycpsdata # Alas, pycps was taken
```
and store your [Census API key](https://api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html) in an environment variable named `CENSUS_API_KEY`.
## Example Usage
```python
from pycps import get_asec
asec = get_asec(2021, ["a_age", "marsupwt"])
asec
# a_age marsupwt
# 0 56 687.71
# 1 57 687.71
# 2 78 646.86
# 3 65 1516.95
# 4 66 1516.95
# ... ... ...
# 163538 69 514.11
# 163539 70 516.25
# 163540 66 516.25
# 163541 55 386.37
# 163542 52 386.37
#
# [163543 rows x 2 columns]
asec.marsupwt.sum()
# 326195439.67
