Boardwalk API
Programmatic access to land use development projects extracted from city and county meeting records. One credit per record, everywhere.
The Boardwalk API returns structured records about land use development projects — apartments, subdivisions, warehouses, rezonings — extracted from the meeting minutes and agendas that city and county bodies publish. Each record carries what is proposed, where, who is behind it, what was decided, and the evidence for all of it.
What it costs
Three steps to a first response
- 1Create a free account, then mint a key under Settings → API. A free trial includes 50 record-export credits (search, CSV, MCP) and 5 Find Contact Info lookups — mix and match, they do not share a pool.
- 2Call a free endpoint to prove the key works, spending nothing.
- 3On County, State, and National, search and export are free; credits spend on Find Contact Info. On the free trial and standalone API Only, each new or changed record costs 1 export credit.
Where to start, by what you are building
Get net-new development leads, with contacts
Standing searches on a cadence, contact enrichment inside the same credit, and delivery state so you never pay twice for a lead you already worked.
Track competing projects and their status changes
Target an exact set of markets, follow decisions and named votes, and see what changed since you last looked.
Query Boardwalk from Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT
An MCP server, a free planning surface an agent can use to bound its own spend, and a compact representation that fits a hundred records in a prompt.
Embed Boardwalk data in your product
A stable field contract, a lossless incremental sync feed, and a versioning policy that says what we will and will not change under you.
What we are honest about
Two things are worth knowing before you build, and we would rather you read them here than discover them in production: coverage is per-state and is not nationwide, and extracted fields can be empty when the public record does not establish them. Both are written up in full.
