[October 17, 2024] New Address Search Endpoint: Precise Property Identification

0.21.0

We're excited to introduce a key addition to our API that enhances property-level data access:

New Endpoint: /v1/property/search_address (POST)

Search for a specific address and retrieve the corresponding <parcl_property_id> for the property. The <parcl_property_id> is key for navigating the Parcl Labs API, serving as the core mechanism for retrieving detailed property-level information in other property endpoints.

Key Features and Technical Details

• Flexible Address Lookup
  • Request payload (JSON):
    • Required: address, city, state_abbreviation, zip_code
    • Optional: unit, source_id
  • Response: parcl_property_id and source_id (if provided)
• Efficient Batch Processing
  • Support for up to 100 address lookups per request
  • Optimized for rapid response times

Developer Notes

• parcl_property_id is the key to accessing detailed property data, especially in /v1/property/event_history. Use this endpoint to obtain parcl_property_id values for subsequent API calls
• Complements /v1/property/search by allowing lookups of specific addresses
• Ensure precise formatting of address components
• source_id can be used to maintain mappings between your system's identifiers and our parcl_property_id

We welcome your feedback on this new capability and look forward to seeing how it streamlines your property data workflows.
