Referencing https://github.com/walkerke/tidycensus/issues/424, we see that the old API endpoint for the 2005-2009 ACS still exists at https://api.census.gov/data/2009/acs5, and contains some variables that are not available at the newer endpoint https://api.census.gov/data/2009/acs/acs5. For example:
https://api.census.gov/data/2009/acs5?get=B08101_001E,NAME&for=tract&in=state:01
works,
but https://api.census.gov/data/2009/acs/acs5?get=NAME,B08101_001E&for=state does not.
Posting here to put on your radar for after the holiday. Thanks!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! I submitted this to our API developers for them to investigate and they are still researching the issue. I'll let you know what I find out from them.
