CPIR Geography Reference API is one of 4 APIs that [Center for Parent Information and Resources](https://apis.io/providers/center-for-parent-information-and-resources/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Geolocation, Reference Data, GeoJSON, and Countries. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification.

Public, unauthenticated reference data served alongside the Parent Center directory: ISO 3166-1 country records with alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes, ISO 4217 currency and calling codes; administrative subdivisions with centroids and bounding boxes (US states and territories); and country boundary geometry as GeoJSON (RFC 7946). This is the geography layer the Find Your Parent Center map is built on. Verified live on 2026-09-05.
