Utah AGRC

About Utah AGRC

Utah AGRC provides a web API for accessing geospatial data maintained by the Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC), the State of Utah's map technology coordination office. The API draws from the State Geographic Information Database (SGID), which aggregates over 300 layers of Utah-specific spatial data across more than 1,000,000 rows. It offers geocoding (converting addresses to geographic coordinates) and a search endpoint for querying the SGID's data layers, along with locally sourced data such as address reversals, delivery points, mileposts, and P.O. boxes.

The service is aimed at developers and organizations working with Utah-specific location data, including use cases like visualizing customer locations, analyzing spatial relationships, or cross-referencing addresses with events such as disease outbreaks or natural disasters. UGRC states its geocoding approach prioritizes accuracy, returning no match rather than an incorrect one.

Access to the API is open, free, and without restrictions, requiring a key that can be created and managed through a self-service portal.
