USDA SNAP Retailer Locator
SNAP Retailer Location Data API

Public, anonymous, read-only Esri ArcGIS Feature Service exposing location records for every currently authorized SNAP retailer nationwide - store name, street address, city, state, zip/zip4, county, store type (e.g. Convenience Store, Grocery Store, Supermarket, Super Store, Farmers and Markets, Restaurant Meals Program, Specialty Store, Other), latitude and longitude, and Healthy Incentive Program / grantee participation. Supports SQL-style `where` filtering, field selection, spatial queries, sorting, distinct values, statistics, and offset-based pagination (maxRecordCount 1,000 rows per request) in JSON, GeoJSON, or PBF. This is the same live data source (ArcGIS item 8b260f9a10b0459aa441ad8588c2251c) embedded in FNA's own public retailer locator web tool.

  title: SNAP Retailer Location Data API
  description: >-
    Esri ArcGIS Feature Service published by the USDA Food and Nutrition
    Administration (FNA, formerly FNS) exposing location records for every
    currently authorized SNAP retailer nationwide. The service is anonymous
    and read-only (Query capability only - no create/update/delete). It is
    the same live data source (ArcGIS item 8b260f9a10b0459aa441ad8588c2251c)
    embedded in the public retailer locator at
    https://www.fna.usda.gov/snap/retailer-locator. All endpoints, query
    parameters, and the field list below were confirmed live against the
    production service on the review date; no API key is required.
