Data to enrich your business
An API to access Utah geospatial data.
The Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC) is the State of Utah's map technology coordination office. The UGRC creates, maintains, and stores geospatial data in the State Geographic Information Database (SGID), a one-stop shop to hundreds of data layers developed, aggregated, or acquired by state government. This web API gives you completely open access to all of that data.

Simple, Spatial
You can learn so much from a house address once it has been geocoded. When you geocode data, you unlock the ability to visualize the data in a different way. And you can use our search endpoint to answer endless questions about your addresses or location.
Trust the data
UGRC was developed specifically to coordinate Utah-specific data, and we've been doing this for 30+ years. Other programs can provide you with similar data, but if you're looking for information that considers the nuances of Utah, this is it—we have the most comprehensive Utah geospatial data, and we want to share it with you.
What is geocoding
Geocoding allows you to find a geographic location (i.e., the geographical coordinates) from an address. UGRC's geocoding philosophy is unique in that we would rather give you no match than the wrong match. But we assure you: we will have the best match rates for Utah addresses.
How can we be so sure?—Because we're the experts in Utah geospatial data.
What is searching
Searching allows you to search through more than 1,000,000 rows of spatial SGID data. With over 300 layers of real-world data that you can run queries against in the SGID, the possibilities can be a little overwhelming. But the searching endpoint really opens up the opportunity for serious information gathering. You need a way to sift through all that information and make sense of it and our search endpoint can help you do that.
Location Matters
The demand for geospatial and location based information has increased dramatically as many disciplines realize the power of spatial data. A customer's address stored in a database has only so many uses. With this API, the door opens to many spatial opportunities from visually seeing customer locations on a map to being able to spatially analyze their relationship or patterns in conjunction with other events such as disease occurrences, natural disaster affected areas, and other location based occurrences.
