    Article summary

    Purpose

    The LightBox FEMA National Risk Index API identifies communities most at risk to 18 natural hazards. This dataset returns natural hazard risk metrics and includes data about expected annual losses from natural hazards, social vulnerability and community resilience. This API measures at a granularity of census tract but also returns county level and state level metrics.

    OAS 3.1 Specification

    Features

    • Return a National Risk object by National Risk Index ID
    • Return a National Risk object by geometry WKT
    • Return a National Risk object by LightBox ID
    • Return a National Risk object by Address

    Requirements

    The LightBox APIs are hosted in the cloud and therefore have no platform requirements. Application requirements include:
    • A network connection to the LightBox API server
    • Ability to parse JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) API responses
    • Secure HTTPS connection
    • LightBox authentication key
    • LightBox authentication key

    Connecting your account

    When your LightBox user account is created, a unique API key is also generated. The API key should be kept secret at all times and can only be used for API requests. The key is required in all API calls.

    To retrieve your unique API key:

    • Log in to the LightBox Developer Portal 
    • Select Apps from the menu bar
    • In your approved App, note your API key (under Consumer Key)

    Performing API requests

    All API requests must be made over secure HTTPS connections. Requests made over HTTP will fail.

    The base URL of the API server that all API requests will be made to is: https://api.lightboxre.com/ followed by a version number https://api.lightboxre.com/v1

    Authentication

    LightBox APIs uses a token-based authentication. All requests to the LightBox APIs must be authenticated. The token to be passed via an HTTP header with key 'x-api-key' and value <Your authentication token>

    Pass your unique API key in the authorization header of every LightBox API call.  LightBox uses this information to authenticate your identify and determine whether you have sufficient permissions to complete the operation. curl -X GET -H ‘x-api-key: (api_key)’  https://api.lightboxre.com/

    API Requests

    Query by Geometry

    Query for national risk index records based on a geometry represented as a well-known text (WKT) string.

    • POINT(-122.40317865990883 45.585729937697515)
    • LINESTRING (-122.40581795357949 45.58497908445598,-122.40325376176125 45.58627054581282)
    • POLYGON ((-122.4032877944377 45.58629457984625,-122.40264406427413 45.585697658341736,-122.40184476598769 45.58610686936547,-122.40244558080703 45.586688769812724,-122.4032877944377 45.58629457984625))

    GET /riskindexes/us/geometry

    Pro Tip:
    This endpoint is best used when you have an existing latitude longitude from 3rd party geocoder, or using the value of a map click/identify from a standard map control.

    Example requests

    curl -X GET -H ‘x-api-key: (api_key)’ https://api.lightboxre.com/v1/counties/us/geometry?wkt=POINT%28-117.852723%2033.63799%29&bufferDistance=50&bufferUnit=m

    https://api.lightboxre.com/v1/counties/us/geometry?wkt=POINT%28-117.852723%2033.63799%29&bufferDistance=50&bufferUnit=m

    Parameters

    ParameterTypeDescriptionUsage
    wktqueryThe geometry of the location expressed in WKT format.required
    bufferDistancequeryBuffer distance expressed in 'bufferUnits'.optional
    bufferUnitqueryThe unit type to apply to the buffer (eg m, km, ft, mi)optional

    Response

    Media type: application/json

    Query By Address

    Query National Risk Index objects by address.

    GET /riskindexes/address/search

    Pro Tip:
    You can use this endpoint as a one request vs a double request first to the Geocoder then to the National Risk Index API using the WKT returned from the Geocoding response. Keep in mind that if the address entered is not found you will receive a 404 Not Found HTTP Response

    HTTP Error Codes

    HTTP Response status codes along with a brief summary of their commonly accepted usage. These status codes are returned by LightBox APIs for each request:
    200
    The request succeeded.
    201
    The object was created successfully
    202Accepted, no content
    204Successful, no content
    204
    The server has successfully fulfilled the request and that there is no additional content to send in the response payload body. Typically returned on a DELETE
    400
    One or more of the request parameters were invalid.
    401
    The client must authenticate itself to get the requested response. Note: This could also be due to your trial key has expired.
    404
    The server cannot find the requested resource. This can also mean that the endpoint is valid but the resource itself does not exist.
    429
    Too many requests were made in a short period of time, or you have exceeded your request-lot pool.
    500
    The server has encountered an error it does not know how to handle.
