Data enrichment | ArcGIS REST JS

Data enrichment is the process of finding demographic data and local facts for locations around the world.

You can use the arcgis-rest-demographics package to access the ArcGIS GeoEnrichment service.

Steps

Install and reference the arcgis-rest-demographics and arcgis-rest-request packages.
Set an access token to authenticate the request.
Define parameters to pass to the service.
Call the service and handle the results.

Global data

You can access global data, also known as standard demographics, for 170 countries and regions. To get global data, you use data variables to find information about population, income, age, households, education, spending, jobs, marital status, and key facts.
