One API covers police, fire, hospitals, and EMS. Filter by type or query all at once. 23,000+ police stations, 52,000+ fire stations, 42,000+ EMS bases, and 7,500+ hospitals.
Hospitals include licensed bed count, trauma center level (I–V), helipad availability, ownership type (government/non-profit/for-profit), and accreditation body.
The /v1/jurisdiction endpoint returns the Census-defined incorporated place or county that contains any coordinate — useful for routing context and coverage mapping.
Get facility counts by type for any state in one call. Hospitals also include total licensed beds and trauma center counts at the state level.
All facilities are keyed by stable HIFLD identifiers, the same IDs used by DHS/CISA and cross-referenced in other federal infrastructure datasets.
Start free. No credit card required. Upgrade when you need more.
All endpoints on all tiers. Monthly limit resets on the 1st.
