HOST: http://api.naics.us/v0/
--- NAICS API ---
---
The [North American Industry Classification System](http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/) (NAICS) is used by the U.S. Federal Government to organize
different types of businesses economic analysis purposes, and while there are different types of numbering systems out there that do this, a lot of
local municipalities have also started adopting it for their own business classification purposes. The NAICS codes and descriptions are revised every
five years (latest: 2012; next: 2017), and while information is freely provided as PDFs or Excel spreadsheets and hosted by the U.S. Census Bureau,
no machine-readable API exists for retrieving this data that can be easily used in applications. Until now.

Retrieving NAICS codes
How to get codes, and information related to that code
#### Data Schema
* __code__ This is the 2-6 digit NAICS code.
* __title__ This is the name of the NAICS code.
* __seq_no__ This is a sequence number provided by NAICS and appears to be used as a primary key in databases by some agencies. Do not use this except for backwards-compatibility with other software.
* __change_indicator (2012 NAICS only)__ If present, indicates whether this code changed from the previous (2007) NAICS.
* __1 = title changed__ from 2007 NAICS, but no content has changed.
* __2 = new code__ in 2012 NAICS.
* __3 = content changed__ from 2007 NAICS, and title may or may not have changed.
* __trilateral (2012 NAICS only)__ If present, indicates that there is a trilateral agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States to use a comparable definition of this industry for this code.
* __description__ If present, this is the text description of this NAICS Code provided by the NAICS Definition File.
* __description_code__ If present, this refers to another NAICS Code description. This will never be present if __description__ for this code is present.
* __examples__ If present, this is an array of illustrative examples provided by the NAICS Definition File.
* __crossrefs__ If present, this is an array of cross-references to other NAICS codes that should be used to fine-tune a business classification, provided by the NAICS Definition File. Both the text description of a cross-reference and its reference NAICS code is provided.
* __index__ (2012 6-digit codes only) If present, this is an array of other titles that belong under this NAICS code, provided by the NAICS Index File. Very useful as a keyword search to determine where specific businesses should be classified. NOTE: Index entries exist for 2007 but are not currently available in NAICS API.
