#geoItems_type An optional argument to specify the geographic type of any entries in the geoItems or geoItems_ID arguments as a quoted string (e.g., "State", "County"). The "geographicType" column in the list_GeographicTypes() output contains a list of appropriate geoItems_type. 
#geoItems_typeID An optional argument to specify the geographic type ID of any entries in the geoItems or geoItems_ID arguments as an unquoted numeric value (e.g., 1, 2). The "geographicTypeId" column in the list_GeographicTypes() output contains a list of appropriate geoItems_typeID.
#geoItemsID An optional argument that specifies the FIPS codes of geographies of interest as unquoted numeric values without leading zeros (e.g., 1, 8). You can request either the lowest level geographic item IDs you would like included in the returned dataset (e.g., specify a county or census tract FIPS) or a state (i.e., parent geographic item) that contains the lower level geographic items you would like returned in the data (e.g., specify a state FIPS to retrieve data for all counties or census tracts within that state). The "parentGeographicId" and "childGeographicId" columns in the list_GeographicItems() output contains a list of available geoItem_ID that can be entered. Note that if you include an entry in this argument, you MUST include a corresponding entry in the geoItems_type or geoItems_typeID arguments. It is NOT necessary to submit both a geoItems and geoItemsID argument. If this argument is NULL, all geographies will be included in the output table.
#geo_typeID An optional argument in which you can specify a geographic type ID as an unquoted numeric value (e.g., 1, 2). The "geographicTypeId" column in the list_geography_types() output contains a list of potential geo_typeID entries associated with each measure.
#temporalItems_type An optional argument to specify the temporal type of any entries in the temporalItems argument as a quoted string (e.g., "Year", "Day"). The "temporalType" and "parentTemporalType" columns in the list_TemporalItems() output shows potential entries in this argument. Whether entries from the "temporalType" or the "parentTemporalType" are used depends on whether entries in the temporalItems or temporalItemsID arguments were derived from the "temporal" or "parentTemporal" column in the list_TemporalItems() output. Either submit entries for temporalItems_typeID or temporalItems_type, not both.
# temporalItems_typeID An optional argument to specify the temporal type ID of any entries in the temporalItems argument as an unquoted numeric value (e.g., 1). The "temporalTypeId" and "parentTemporalTypeId" columns in the list_TemporalItems() output shows potential entries in this argument. Whether entries from the "temporalTypeId" or the "parentTemporalTypeId" are used depends on whether entries in the temporalItems or temporalItemsID arguments were derived from the "temporal" or "parentTemporal" column in the list_TemporalItems() output. Either submit entries for temporalItems_typeID or temporalItems_type, not both.
