API Information

Version:v1.2.0
Region:US
Used for:Powering geospatial workflows that require precise, address-level intelligence—supporting broadband deployment, service qualification, infrastructure development, market planning, and real estate analytics.

Overview

The LightBox Location Info API delivers high-precision spatial point data representing U.S. residences, businesses, dwellings, and other buildings. Each Location Info object is enriched with attributes that support industry-specific workflows, particularly in broadband and telecom. One key attribute, `isBSL`, indicates whether a location is broadband serviceable, based on factors such as the address's residential or business classification and the land use code of its associated parcel. If a location is determined to be non-serviceable, the `nonBSLReason` field explains why. The API supports flexible queries by multiple LightBox IDs, census geography, or spatial geometry, and is designed to power mapping, network planning, compliance, and location analytics workflows.
