Pull recent building & construction permits from 9 major US cities in one clean, unified schema — straight from official open-data portals. One run, one format, every city.

Who uses this

  • Construction lead generation — find newly permitted projects (roofing, HVAC, solar, remodels) before competitors; sell to suppliers and subcontractors.
  • Market & competitive intelligence — track construction valuation and volume by city, contractor, and work type.
  • Real-estate & investment research — spot new development and renovation activity by neighborhood.
  • Contractor prospecting — surface active contractors and project owners by area.

Coverage (v1)

Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC, Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston — and growing. All data comes from public government open-data APIs (Socrata, ArcGIS, Carto, CKAN); no login or paywall.

Unified output schema

Every permit, regardless of source city, comes back as:

{
"jurisdiction": "Chicago", "state": "IL", "sourcePortal": "socrata",
"permitNumber": "100-XYZ", "permitType": "NEW CONSTRUCTION",
"workDescription": "New 3-story residential", "valuation": 250000,
"contractorName": "ACME BUILDERS", "ownerName": null,
"address": "123 N STATE ST", "city": "Chicago", "zip": null,
"latitude": 41.9, "longitude": -87.6,
"issueDate": "2025-05-01", "status": null,
"scrapedAt": "2026-06-02T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Fields a given city doesn't publish come back as null (e.g., some cities don't expose contractor or valuation).
