Intergovernmental FRS API
The FRS API exposes several RESTful web services for querying and submitting data with FRS for federal, state, local, and tribal government organizations.
Intergovernmental FRS API Specifications
The technical details of the FRS API are documented in the FRS Swagger pages:
- Pre-production Query API Swagger Page (for testing purposes)
