Overview
Utah AGRC (Automated Geographic Reference Center) provides a free geocoding API specifically for Utah addresses, converting street addresses into geographic coordinates. It is maintained by the State of Utah and offers high accuracy for in-state addresses. Developers building Utah-focused apps will find this far more accurate than generic geocoding services for local addresses.
Beginner Tip
Request a free API key from the Utah AGRC developer website. Supply address and zone (city or zip) as separate parameters for the most accurate geocoding results.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"result": "Data from Utah AGRC",
"description": "Utah Web API for geocoding Utah addresses",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}
} Field Reference
status HTTP status code of the geocoding result, 200 indicates success. result.location.x Longitude coordinate of the geocoded address. result.location.y Latitude coordinate of the geocoded address. result.score Confidence score from 0-100 indicating match quality; higher is better. result.matchAddress The standardized address that was matched in the database. Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://api.mapserv.utah.gov/api/v1/geocode/123%20South%20Main%20Street/Salt%20Lake%20City?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
