Search Items

For every product, a list or file of search items must be provided to the product call. There are 3 types of search items corresponding to the 3 types of lookups. (More information on the Lookup types can be found on the Lookups Page on the First Street Foundation API Data Dictionary)

1. FSID (int): The simplest type of lookup is a fsid lookup. If you know the fsid of the specific location, you can navigate directly to the specific product's information using the location's fsid. Example FSID: 18

2. Lat/Lng (tuple of int): Provide a tuple of latitude, longitude pairs will check to see if that point intersects within a boundary of a parcel from the database. Example lat/lng: (40.7079652311, -74.0021455387)

3. Address (string): Pass the address in your request to retrieve a reverse geocode location lookup. LocationType is required for address lookup. An address can be a city name, home address, or business address. City and State need to be included within the address query. Example Address: New York, NY

Example (Python list of search items):

Example (Command line argument for list of search items):

-i 362493883;(40.792505,-73.951949);"1220 5th Ave, New York, NY"
