USDA SNAP Retailer Locator

The USDA Food and Nutrition Administration (FNA) - renamed from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) on June 1, 2026 - publishes an open, public geospatial API for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Retailer Locator. The data is hosted as an Esri ArcGIS Feature Service (snap_retailer_location_data) rather than a bespoke fns.usda.gov or api.fns.usda.gov endpoint, and is embedded directly in the public retailer locator tool at fna.usda.gov/snap/retailer-locator. It exposes point-in-time location records - name, address, city, state, zip, county, store type, latitude/longitude, and Healthy Incentive Program participation - for every currently authorized SNAP retailer nationwide (roughly a quarter million records as of the review date), queryable anonymously over REST with no API key, in JSON, GeoJSON, or PBF, with CSV/Shapefile/KML export also available through the ArcGIS Hub item page. Data is refreshed on a recurring basis by FNA; the service is read-only (Query only - no write capabilities).
