Precision Meets Speed: EarthDefine Launches Building Footprints 3D API
Aug 6, 2026
Get instant access to 200M+ high-precision 3D building footprints across the US. Query by address or coordinate and get heights, roof slopes, and elevations in under 100ms. No bottlenecks.

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.
