## Can I use the surveys in my research?

Yes! Aggregate data is available for download through the [COVIDcast API]({{< apiref "api/covidcast.html">}}), updated daily. [R and Python clients are available]({{< apiref "api/covidcast_clients.html">}}) for the API. Aggregate data does not include any individual survey responses, only averages over counties and other geographic areas, and does not include all survey questions. See the [API documentation]({{< apiref "api/covidcast-signals/fb-survey.html">}}) for details on how to access the data, what survey questions are available, and how our aggregate values are calculated. Contingency tables giving demographic breakdowns of key survey signals are [also publicly available for download]({{< apiref "symptom-survey/contingency-tables.html">}}).
