Geocoding — entry 074 of 80
Utah UGRC (formerly AGRC)
Utah's state geospatial agency, rebranded from AGRC (Automated Geographic Reference Center) to UGRC (Utah Geospatial Reference Center), runs a free REST API for geocoding Utah street addresses plus broader SGID (State Geographic Information Database) map-service data. It requires a self-service API key tied to a referrer-header check, returns JSON, and its docs describe it as currently not rate-limited — free for both casual and heavy use, with dedicated instances available on request.
