SSURGO Soil
The SURGGO Soils API provides soil type and average of the soil type attribute (e.g., NCCPI) by field for a shape entered.
a) Post Request SSURGO Soils
Please note, this API has been deprecated. Please use the new version.
This API is utilized to drive the Ag-Analytics SSURGO soil panel below, for illustration. Area calculations from the API are provided in square meters and can be easily converted to acres on the front-end. The API Response contains shapes/features in ESRI JSON format, as well as the calculated metric (e.g., National Commodity Crop Productivity Index) and areas of each shape, the soil type name, the area for the sums of each soil type across all features for display in the table, metadata related to projection and other information. This API can be easily called and mapped using any standard front-end JavaScript mapping library (e.g., Leaflet).
Please note, we will gradually transition to the SSURGO Soil v2 API, which features changes in the response. Changes will be reflected in the SSURGO Soil v2 API Documentation and Jupyter Notebook.
