We have some fantastic news to share with all our users! BigDataCloud API has expanded its capabilities, and we are thrilled to announce the introduction of FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) and CSD (Census Subdivision) codes. This latest enhancement allows you to unlock a new level of precision in geolocation data for both the United States and Canada. We believe this update will significantly improve your experience and make your applications even more powerful. Let's dive into the details of this exciting new feature!
We're excited to inform you that both FIPS codes for the US and CSD codes for Canada are now available on both our IP Geolocation and Reverse Geocoding API endpoints. Whether you're looking to identify geographic areas within the United States or Canada or perform reverse geocoding for specific locations, BigDataCloud API has you covered. This comprehensive coverage across our APIs ensures that you have easy access to FIPS and CSD codes for all your geolocation needs.
FIPS codes are a set of numeric codes used to uniquely identify geographic areas within the United States. Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), these codes ensure uniform identification of states, counties, and other geographic entities in computer systems and databases. With FIPS codes now available through BigDataCloud API, you can enhance your applications with highly accurate location data for US territories. It opens up a world of possibilities for mapping, analysis, and geospatial applications.
For our Canadian users, we are equally excited to introduce CSD codes. These are numeric codes that uniquely identify geographic areas within Canada based on the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) system. Our API now provides the full 7-digit CSD code, incorporating the two-digit Province/Territory code, the two-digit Census Division code, and the three-digit CSD code. This comprehensive code allows you to pinpoint precise locations across Canada with ease and efficiency.
Getting started with FIPS and CSD codes through BigDataCloud API is easy! Simply access our updated API documentation, where you'll find detailed information on how to utilise these codes effectively. Whether you're already using our API or considering integrating it into your projects, this enhancement will undoubtedly elevate your geolocation data to new heights.
We are excited to empower you with the latest advancement in geolocation technology. The addition of FIPS and CSD codes to BigDataCloud API demonstrates our commitment to providing accurate and comprehensive geospatial solutions. We look forward to seeing how you can utilise these codes to create innovative applications and make data-driven decisions with confidence.
