The most frequent questions and issues I receive about this package relate to how to use a specific API. To that end, I've created a new list of examples vignette.

It's very bare bones right now - 1 to 3 examples from most of the APIs with little text. Suggestions/PRs for how to improve this page are welcome!

In addition, if you have projects you've done using censusapi with code online, a usage example page with links would be cool for the future.
