This repository provides access to the Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL) data through a Representational State Transfer (REST) API. The FGDL includes various spatial datasets related to Florida, such as boundaries, transportation networks, environmental features, and more. This API allows developers and researchers to easily integrate these datasets into their applications and analyses.
There are two primary ways to use this API:
- Direct API calls: Utilize the provided API documentation and make requests directly to the API endpoints using your preferred programming language and libraries.
- Client libraries: Pre-built client libraries are available in Python and JavaScript to simplify interacting with the API. Refer to the client-libraries directory for installation instructions and usage examples.
The API offers a comprehensive suite of endpoints to access various data categories. For detailed information on available endpoints, request parameters, and response formats, refer to the API documentation available at [link to API documentation].
Data utilized in this API originates from the Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL), a central repository for geospatial data maintained by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). FGDL data undergoes rigorous quality control processes and adheres to established standards.
