Version:v1.2.0
Region:US
Used for:Supporting jurisdictional, regional, market, infrastructure, and geospatial analysis by integrating state boundaries into location-based workflows.
Overview
The LightBox State Boundaries API provides geographic boundaries for U.S. states. State boundaries provide jurisdictional and regional context for properties, infrastructure, markets, and service areas and can be used to organize and analyze information at the state level. Through the API, developers and analysts can search for states, retrieve individual state records and boundary geometry, perform spatial queries, and incorporate state boundaries into regional analysis, infrastructure planning, territory management, jurisdictional analysis, and other geospatial workflows.
