  The USDA Food and Nutrition Administration (FNA) - renamed from the Food and
  Nutrition Service (FNS) on June 1, 2026 - publishes an open, public geospatial
  API for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Retailer
  Locator. The data is hosted as an Esri ArcGIS Feature Service
  (snap_retailer_location_data) rather than a bespoke fns.usda.gov or
  api.fns.usda.gov endpoint, and is embedded directly in the public retailer
  locator tool at fna.usda.gov/snap/retailer-locator. It exposes point-in-time
  location records - name, address, city, state, zip, county, store type,
  latitude/longitude, and Healthy Incentive Program participation - for every
  currently authorized SNAP retailer nationwide (roughly a quarter million
  records as of the review date), queryable anonymously over REST with no API
  key, in JSON, GeoJSON, or PBF, with CSV/Shapefile/KML export also available
  through the ArcGIS Hub item page. Data is refreshed on a recurring basis by
  FNA; the service is read-only (Query only - no write capabilities).

    Public, anonymous, read-only Esri ArcGIS Feature Service exposing location
    records for every currently authorized SNAP retailer nationwide - store
    name, street address, city, state, zip/zip4, county, store type (e.g.
    Convenience Store, Grocery Store, Supermarket, Super Store, Farmers and
    Markets, Restaurant Meals Program, Specialty Store, Other), latitude and
    longitude, and Healthy Incentive Program / grantee participation.
    Supports SQL-style `where` filtering, field selection, spatial queries,
    sorting, distinct values, statistics, and offset-based pagination
    (maxRecordCount 1,000 rows per request) in JSON, GeoJSON, or PBF. This is
    the same live data source (ArcGIS item 8b260f9a10b0459aa441ad8588c2251c)
    embedded in FNA's own public retailer locator web tool.
