Pricing
from $3.50 / 1,000 permit records
Daily-refreshed building permits from eight official city open-data portals in one schema. Personal names removed. Includes a new-since-date mode for alert feeds.
Cities to read. Choose from calgary, edmonton, san_jose, seattle, toronto, vancouver, washington_dc, minneapolis.
[ "calgary"]Earliest permit date (issued date, or applied date when not yet issued), as YYYY-MM-DD. Default: the last 30 days. Ignored when 'Changed or added since' is set.
Latest permit date, as YYYY-MM-DD. Optional.
Return only permits added to the data, or changed, on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Schedule the Actor daily with yesterday's date to get an alert feed. Retained history is up to 365 days.
Only permits with a declared value at or above this amount, in the city's currency.
Only permits that show a contractor business name. Names that could belong to a person are withheld from every record, so a permit whose contractor is a person counts as having none. Some cities publish no contractor at all (see the coverage table).
Keep permits whose permit type, work type, work tag or business name contains this text (case-insensitive), for example 'solar' or 'demolition'.
