get_broadband_by_location
Get broadband providers and availability at a specific lat/lon location.
Returns a list of broadband providers serving the location with their
advertised download/upload speeds and technology types. Includes BEAD
classification (unserved/underserved/served) based on max available speeds.
NOTE: The FCC Broadband Map API has bot protection and may reject requests.
If you get an error, the API endpoint may have changed. The FCC updates
this API frequently without notice.
Args:
latitude: Location latitude (e.g. 38.8977 for Washington DC).
longitude: Location longitude (e.g. -77.0365 for Washington DC).
technology_code: Filter by technology (0=All, 10=Copper, 40=Cable,
50=Fiber, 60=Satellite, 70=Fixed Wireless).
speed_download: Minimum download speed in Mbps (default 25).
speed_upload: Minimum upload speed in Mbps (default 3).
as_of_date: BDC filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default 2024-06-30).
get_broadband_summary_by_county
Get broadband availability statistics for a county.
Returns aggregated broadband data including provider counts, technology
availability, and BEAD-relevant metrics (unserved/underserved/served
location percentages).
NOTE: County-level summary endpoints may not be directly available in all
API versions. This tool attempts multiple endpoint patterns.
Args:
county_fips: 5-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '11001' for Washington DC,
'53033' for King County WA). Always a string, never an integer.
speed_download: Minimum download speed threshold in Mbps (default 25).
speed_upload: Minimum upload speed threshold in Mbps (default 3).
as_of_date: BDC filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default 2024-06-30).
get_broadband_summary_by_state
Get state-level broadband availability summary.
Returns aggregated broadband statistics for the state including provider
counts and technology deployment. Useful for BEAD program analysis to
identify states with significant unserved/underserved populations.
Args:
state_fips: 2-digit state FIPS code (e.g. '53' for Washington, '11' for DC).
Always a string, never an integer.
speed_download: Minimum download speed threshold in Mbps (default 25).
speed_upload: Minimum upload speed threshold in Mbps (default 3).
as_of_date: BDC filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default 2024-06-30).
get_providers_by_county
Get list of broadband providers serving a county.
Returns provider names, technology types, and speed tiers available
in the specified county. Useful for BEAD applications to identify
which providers serve an area and what technologies they deploy.
Args:
county_fips: 5-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '11001' for Washington DC,
'53033' for King County WA). Always a string, never an integer.
technology_code: Filter by technology (0=All, 10=Copper, 40=Cable,
50=Fiber, 60=Satellite, 70=Fixed Wireless).
speed_download: Minimum download speed threshold in Mbps (default 25).
speed_upload: Minimum upload speed threshold in Mbps (default 3).
as_of_date: BDC filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format (default 2024-06-30).
