API

State hunting regulations as a simple API.
Turn coordinates into clear, actionable hunting rules for any state.

Integrate zone-based seasons, weapon restrictions, and species-specific regulations into your product with a single request. Designed for mapping apps, land-leasing platforms, outfitters, and online hunter-education systems.

Turn coordinates into clear hunting rules

Hunterizer resolves the exact hunting regulations for any point on the map. You send latitude, longitude, and date — we return species availability, zone-specific seasons, weapon rules, bag limits, and special tags when applicable.

Key Capabilities

• Location-based rules for any lat/lon
• Automatic zone detection (WMUs, units, subzones)
• Species-level seasons, bag limits, and weapon constraints
• State-by-state coverage with ongoing updates
• Clean JSON responses optimized for UI integration
• Built for mapping, B2B marketplaces, and mobile apps

How It Works

• Send us coordinates and date.
• We determine the zone and apply state-specific rules.
• You receive structured species-level regulation data.
• Display it in your maps, listings, dashboards, or planner.
