Steps

  1. Confirm the target city/region has a completed Urban FIA inventory project (e.g., 'Baltimore2021Curr') — coverage is limited to specific funded urban projects, not all US cities
  2. Look up valid geog (project), estnum (estimate description), and grps (grouping) values via GET /fiadb-api/urban/fullreport/parameters/{name}?outputFormat=JSON
  3. POST to https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fiadb-api/urban/fullreport with geog, estnum, grps, and outputFormat parameters
  4. Optionally supply estdenom for ratio estimates, or strFilter/cg1/cg2 for custom SQL-based groupings
  5. Parse the returned estimates/subtotals/totals plus metadata.sql for the underlying query used to generate the numbers
