Stormwater Compliance API

Returns a list of all states with regulatory data in the system.

Parameters

None.

Example Request

curl https://aue-land-compliance-checker.onrender.com/api/states

Example Response

{
  "states": [
    "FL",
    "GA",
    "MI",
    "NC",
    "SC"
  ]
}

Returns the counties with county-specific regulatory data for a given state. For every county the checker covers, including those that use state rules only, see /api/coverage.

Path Parameters

Example Request

curl https://aue-land-compliance-checker.onrender.com/api/states/SC/counties

Example Response

{
  "state": "SC",
  "counties": [
    "Beaufort",
    "Berkeley",
    "Charleston",
    "Colleton",
    "Dorchester",
    "Georgetown",
    "Greenville",
    "Horry",
    "Jasper",
    "Lexington",
    "Richland"
  ]
}

Returns every county the Compliance Checker accepts, grouped by state. Public, no authentication. Each county carries a level: county means county-specific rules are on file, and state means the report is built from state rules only. States are sorted by name. Within a state, county-level entries come first, then state-level entries, each group sorted by name.

Parameters

None.

      "code": "MI",
      "name": "Michigan",

  ]
}

Returns the API's health status and whether the services it depends on are configured. Useful for monitoring uptime or verifying connectivity before making other requests. For the list of supported states, use /api/states.

Parameters

None.

Example Request

curl https://aue-land-compliance-checker.onrender.com/health

Example Response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "service": "aue-land-api",
  "anthropic_key_set": true,
  "turnstile_key_set": true,
  "resend_key_set": true
}

Generates a full stormwater compliance report for a specific county. This endpoint requires a valid Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA token, so it cannot be called programmatically without browser-based verification.

Every response includes "coverage_level": "county" | "state", which tells you whether the report used county-specific rules or state rules only. A county that is not listed in /api/coverage returns a 400 error.
