About CommunityGuardAPI
Public data infrastructure for community safety
CommunityGuardAPI aggregates, standardizes, and serves sex offender registry data from all 50 states through a single REST API. Built for developers, schools, and civic organizations that need reliable access to public safety information.
Origin
Born from a real problem
While building EduQueue, a K-12 visitor management system, we needed to screen visitors against sex offender registries. The problem: no unified, developer-friendly data source existed.
State registries are fragmented — different formats, different access methods, inconsistent data. So we built the infrastructure ourselves, then opened it up as an API for anyone who needs it.
What we provide
Data infrastructure, not just a database
Aggregation
We pull from every state registry, normalize field names, geocode addresses, and deliver clean JSON.
Geospatial search
Search by coordinates, radius, or ZIP code. Get distance-sorted results with lat/lng for every record.
Developer-first API
Standard REST endpoints, API key auth, paginated responses. Integrate in minutes, not weeks.
