ToolMint Address Risk Bundle

One paid call for US location risk: Census geocoder → county/tract, active NWS weather alerts, nearby USGS earthquakes, and FEMA NFHL flood zone. Useful for insurance, logistics, events, travel and real-estate screening. Public US government data only; informational, not an official determination.

Routes and prices

Try it

Not deployed yet. The URL below is the planned address. After launch, an unpaid call returns 402 with the terms in the price table.
curl -i "https://toolmint-address-risk-bundle-json.toolmint.workers.dev/risk?lat=30.2672&lon=-97.7431"

When to use it

Quick location screening for insurance triage, logistics, events, travel or real-estate research: one object with area, hazards and flags. Not for: official determinations, appraisals, parcel data, or anywhere outside the US.

Example

curl -i "https://toolmint-address-risk-bundle-json.toolmint.workers.dev/risk/address?address=1600%20Pennsylvania%20Ave%20NW%2C%20Washington%2C%20DC"

That hostname is the planned Worker name. The tool is not deployed yet. Allow up to about 60 seconds: the Census geocoder can be slow on a cold start.

riskFlags is a list of short strings, for example active_nws_alerts:2(Severe,Moderate), recent_quakes:3,maxM3.1, sfha:true, flood_zone:AE, flood_zone:not_mapped_at_point, component_failed:floodZone. no_active_flags appears only when every part answered and nothing was flagged.

Data sources and licence

U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder, NWS (api.weather.gov), USGS earthquake service, FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. US Government data, public domain or free to use; none endorses this product. Per-source URL, licence and fetch time are in provenance.sources. Check each source's own terms.

Freshness and caching

Complete bundles are cached in memory for 10 minutes. Partial bundles are never cached. FEMA maps can be outdated and preliminary data is excluded.

Limits

  • Informational, not an official determination.
  • US only. Address matching is the Census geocoder's (first match is used).
  • Up to 50 earthquakes returned (truncated shows when capped).
  • Slow cold starts: allow around 60 seconds.
