Introduction

Welcome to the ReportAll Overlay API! We offer parcel-based, tile-based, and ArcGIS style endpoints for use in any application you may have in mind.

Authentication

All of our endpoints require authentication. You can choose to use either the client key we provide to you, or a generated token by using our auth endpoint.

The client key is provided using: ...&client=[client_key]...

To provide a token use: ...&token=[token]...

Token-based Authentication

To retrieve a token, use this code:

curl "https://reportallusa.com/api/auth?client=ffffffffff&timestamp=1524751569"

{
  "status": "OK",
  "token": "xPBn6y9wBBxxcK2527AHY0YJ2c17k8nU5FAsuvW1_9Qv09NZ4b6BaQZ7lNUHZyl1"
}

Make sure to replace ffffffffff and 1524751569 with your real client key and desired timestamp.

Using our auth endpoint, you can supply your client key and an expiration timestamp and receive an encrypted token for use in all of our endpoints

HTTP Request

GET https://reportallusa.com/api/auth?

Auth parameters

Parameter Description
client Your ReportAll client key
timestamp A UNIX timestamp of when this token should expire

Result Fields

Field Description
status Status of your request, can be OK, or error
token Encrypted token for use in authentication in our API

Account Information

curl "http://reportallusa.com/api/account?client=[client_key]"

{
  "status": "OK",
  "client": "[client_key]",
  "expires_at": 1525177229,
  "quotas": {
    "/api/parcels.php" : {
      "period": "hour",
      "requests": 100,
      "usage": 0,
      "remaining": 100
    },
    "/dyn/tile.py": {
      "period": "day",
      "requests": 10000,
      "usage": 0,
      "remaining": 10000
    }
  }
}

If you're designing an application using our API, you may want to have a more automated way to keep on top of your quota usage. Using our accounts endpoint can give you that information.

HTTP Request

GET https://reportallusa.com/api/account?

Query Parameters

Parameter Description
client Your ReportAll client key. Note this endpoint does not take a token for security purposes.

Result Fields

Field Description
status Status of the request, can be OK or error
client Your client key
expires_at When your account expires or renews.
quotas An associative array, keyed off of each resource name available to you. Resource IDs can be one of /dyn/tile.py or /api/parcels.php. See below for what each resource contains.

Resource Fields

Field Description
period The renewal period for this resource. Can be one of alltime, month, day, hour.
requests The total number of requests you can make in a given period.

Using our ESRI compatible API, you can integrate our parcel geometry and attributes directly in your web application! Overlay our geometries directly on the map, and retrieve the attributes by clicking on any displayed parcels.

Tiled Map Service Layer Endpoint

https://reportallusa.com/api/rest_services/client=[client_key]/Parcels/MapServer

Query Task Endpoint

https://reportallusa.com/api/rest_services/client=[client_key]/Parcels/MapServer/0

ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro Software

Add our ArcGIS Server to ArcGIS Pro with the following url:

https://reportallusa.com/client=[client_key]/services

If you wish to query our parcels, make sure to add our sublayer to your scene as well. This sublayer can be found by expanding our 'Parcels' layer in the catalog view.

ArcGIS Online

To use our ArcGIS server in your ArcGIS Online map, please follow the steps below:

  1. Select ‘Add’ then ‘Add layer from web’
  2. With ‘An ArcGIS Server Web Service’ selected, enter ‘https://reportallusa.com/client=[client_key]/rest/services’, with your client key substituted, as the URL and click ‘Browse for more layers’
  3. When ‘Choose a layer’ comes up, reselect ‘Parcels’ from the dropdown box and select ‘Add layer’

You will now see our layer added to your map. It will be grayed out if you are zoomed out beyond our visibility settings. If you wish to click parcels to identify them, do the following:

  1. Expand the ‘Parcels’ layer in your contents tab
  2. Select the three dots at the end of the nested ‘Parcels’ layer
  3. Select ‘Enable Pop-up’

Vector Tiles

Map tiles can be accessed in MapBox Vector Tile (MVT) format using the below endpoint:

HTTP Request

GET https://reportallusa.com/api/rest_services/client=[client_id]/ParcelsVectorTile/MapBoxVectorTileServer/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt

A working example is available at our API MapBox Vector Tiles example page.

The vector tiles endpoint supports zoom levels ("z" parameter) 14 thru 17 inclusive.

Setting Feature Id to robust_id

MapBox Vector Tiles slice polygons which cross tile boundaries. To ensure your mapping framework properly reconstructs parcels which cross tile boundaries back into single polygons (rather than presenting multiple, sliced polygons), you need to instruct your mapping framework that the feature id of the tile data's 'parcels' layer is its 'robust_id' attribute. In MapBox GL JS you can accomplish this by setting the source's promoteId attribute to {"parcels": "robust_id"}. For an example of how to set this for the MapBox GL JS framework, visit our API MapBox Vector Tiles example page, view its source, and search for promoteId.

Additional Attributes

Additional attributes can be requested to be included in the vector tiles. To include additional attributes in the output (besides the default of robust_id), after the /client=.../ path part, add an additional path part specifying a comma-separated list of fields like: /outFields=field1,field2,.../. For example to include both parcel_id and owner in the output, use:

GET https://reportallusa.com/api/rest_services/client=[client_id]/outFields=parcel_id,owner/ParcelsVectorTile/MapBoxVectorTileServer/tile/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt

A complete list of available fields can be found at https://reportallusa.com/api/rest_services/client=DummyClientKey/Parcels/MapServer/0?f=pjson

If you need many attributes for a small number of (say, clicked or otherwise focused) parcels, instead of listing those attributes as outFields in the above, consider issuing (a) request(s) to the query endpoint instead. This may be more efficient from a quota perspective because a vector tile request specifying n outFields attributes can use up to n+1 tile quota, whereas a query endpoint request for one record will use only one parcels (not tile) quota. Such a query endpoint request for full parcel details (attributes) could look like:

GET https://reportallusa.com/api/rest_services/client=[client_id]/Parcels/MapServer/0/query?where=robust_id='[robust_id]'

See our API MapBox Vector Tiles example page (including "view source" on it) for a working example of this approach.

The response to the above is by default in ArcGIS Server (JSON) format, though you can request GeoJSON by adding an f=geojson parameter. (See ArcGIS and/or GeoJSON sections of this documentation for more details.)

Tile Quota Use

If no additional attributes are requested, vector tile requests use 1 tile quota per request. For each additional attribute requested, each vector tile request uses one additional tile quota, with the following exceptions:

  1. Attributes "robust_id", "county_id", "county_name", "state_abbr", "muni_name", "latitude", and "longitude" are free; I.e. they do not cost any tile quota to request. In fact, robust_id will always be included in the response.
  2. If no parcel centered in the tile has a nonempty value for an attribute, we do not charge any tile quota for that attribute. In other words, additional tile quota is only charged if one or more parcels centered in the tile return a nonempty value for that attribute. In this way, no additional tile quota is used when we return no data for that attribute in the tile.

GeoJSON

To receive responses in GeoJSON format, issue queries against our ArcGIS Query Task Endpoint (discussed in the previous section) by adding /query to its path, and among the query parameters, specify f=geojson to set the response output format to GeoJSON. Several example queries and their responses are shown in the sidebar.

Querying by point intersection and receiving result(s) in GeoJSON format. Note that the query string contains (at the end) the "f=geojson" parameter. Make sure to replace [client_key] with your real client key.
