API for EarthDefine Building Footprints 3D
Aug 12, 2026
EarthDefine's Building Footprints 3D API: on-demand access to 200M+ US building footprints with height, stories, roof slope, area, and ground elevation, returned by address in under 100ms.
On-demand access to over 200 million building footprints across the US, delivered as high-precision vector data, with area, height, estimated stories, roof slope, and ground elevation already attached. The EarthDefine 'Building Footprints 3D' API is officially here!
* Query by address or coordinate and get an answer back in under 100 milliseconds.
* Actual building rooflines with heights, covering all building types
* No shapefile request, no wait, always access the freshest data available.
For us, accuracy alone was never the hard part. Getting that accuracy into someone's hands fast enough to be useful - that's what we built this for.

If you're working on something where building-level detail matters and file-based delivery has been the bottleneck, we'd love to hear about it.
