Admin Lookup API - Lookup and download any shapefile using just the coordinates

by•
Ever have a coordinate and do not know where it falls into? Ever want a shapefile but you have to manually subset it? Solve these problems by just pasting the latitude and longitude, get the administrative hierarchy and download the file. Simple!

I built this because as a geospatial analyst, I got tired of manually subsetting shapefiles just to find where a coordinate falls. This API lets you paste a lat/lon and instantly get the country, county, ward — and even download the exact boundary as GeoJSON. It’s built for anyone working with East African geodata — from devs to NGOs. Excited to hear what you think!
