How you'd wire this up

The data API isn't available yet. These examples show what it will look like when it launches.

Match an address to a stable North Carolina record

GET /nc/v1/match?address=1420 Oberlin Rd&city=Raleigh&zip=27605

Returns the matched parcel reference and a match score, so bad joins fail loudly instead of silently.

Pull the full filing history

GET /nc/v1/permits?parcel=nc-wake-0794123456&include=milestones

Every filing we hold for that property: type, scope, stated value, contractor and inspection dates.

Roll it up for market features

GET /nc/v1/trends?scope=zip&zip=27605&window=12m&group_by=trade

Monthly counts and values by trade, ready to drop into a feature table.

  • 5 metro markets
  • Filings checked every weekday
  • Address-level cleanup
  • CSV or JSON export

What changes

What this looks like in practice

01

Features you can explain in a diligence call, because each one links back to a municipal filing.

02

One consistent shape across every North Carolina county, so you stop writing per-jurisdiction parsers.

03

Renovation and improvement history you can use to separate touched stock from untouched.

Where to begin

The North Carolina filings worth watching

Pick one or two to start. Once you can see which ones turn into work for you, widen the net.
