Important: Make sure to display information under /data/attributes/* as HTML.

GET /geographies

Use this endpoint to retrieve the names and IDs of geographies (e.g. neighbourhoods, cities, schools) associated with a specific location (lat/lng). The geography IDs (e.g. g10_f25dyhcn) in the returned dictionary can be used to query the Local Profiles by geog_id.

If present, the /data/schools dictionary has the following structure:

  • The keys are school IDs where the bounding box of all the school’s catchments contain the property (lat/lng).
  • The values are a list of the school’s individual catchments that contain the property (lat/lng). If a property is within the bounding box but not in a catchment, the value will be an empty array.

Notes

Catchment lists

The catchment list returned for each school at a given lat/lng does not necessarily represent a comprehensive list of catchments for all the programs offered at that school, only programs for which we have data and whose catchment intersects that lat/long. Also in the returned dictionary, under /meta/order is the order, from smallest to largest, of the overlapping geographies. For example, neighbourhoods (level 10) are smaller than boroughs (level 20) and cities (level 30).

School IDs

To look up school names, addresses, and other information by school ID, you will need a full list of our schools. Please contact us to obtain this list.
