API ReferenceUtilities

List Utilities

Retrieve a paginated list of utilities. Supports: - Pagination (`page_size`, `page`) - Sorting by name (`order_by`, default: asc) - Search by name, holding company, or state code (`q`) - Filter by `state` (two-letter code) and `ownership_type` - Geo mode: pass `lat`+`lng` (together) to return every utility whose service territory covers the point, ordered most-specific-first. Name/state/ownership_type filters are ignored, and an empty array is returned if none cover the point. Only active utilities are returned. Utilities are seeded globally from the HIFLD catalog. Most fields are read-only; only custom fields can be updated (see PATCH /utilities/{utility_id}).
